Zen,
Not sure about the fronts as my Ghias are a 60 and 61, but the back seat did not have seat belts in them for any of the Ghias, from what I understand. The rear seat was designated an "Emergency Seat" and it's use was more to it's designation, just for emergencies. Hope this helps... Doug |

well that sucks. i just assumed there were. backseat is a must, only for the rare occasions i don't know i have to get the kids and am not in the right car. bummer. maybe i can use some race mounts to create some mounting points back there.

One option that might be worth looking into is using the seat belts from another car.
I used the front and rears from a hyundai pony in my 69 Beetle to get the advantage of retractable belts. If I remember right, even the mounting hardware was metric and the same size. These cars used to be quite plentiful in the pick-your-parts yards, but most have probably been long sence turned into coke cans or rebar by now. Doug |
