"...the issue with retractors in a coupe is that they have to mount
somewhere near the floor and they are fairly large, which means easy to trip over
when getting in and out of the back seat. Not to mention having to crawl
under/through the shoulder belt...
Agreed, Kent, those are valid considerations; but, the alternative: risking
driving without modern 3-point belts, is (I believe) a considerably
greater concern. The installation in my 67 moves the retractor fully rearward,
and has not caused any issue during the infrequent use of the rear
compartment.
Installation pictures, with comments, have now been completed and can be
