Roll Bar Seatbelt Attaching Point

Here's a way to attach a 3 point seatbelt to a early Roll Bar, on the cheap.

1. Buy four 1 7/8" muffler clamps, two 7/!6" NF nuts, 1 foot of 1X3/16" steel stock.
2. Cut the stock into two pieces 3 1/4" long.
3. Find the center of each piece.
4. Drill a 7/16" hole in the two stock pieces.
5. Weld one fo the nuts over the hole.
6. Weld one end of the stock to a mufler clamp.
7. Weld the other end of the the stock to the 2nd clamp.
8. Grind and dress all welds.
9. Paint to match roll bar.
10. Clamp onto roll bar 17 3/4" up from the top of the wheelhouse.
11. Tighte all nuts.
12. Deform the U-bolts or tack weld the nuts to the U-bolts.
13. Grind and dress the U-bolts as necessary.
14. Paint to match.

Simple as that.

I don't claim it's pretty, but it's mighty strong, and very inexpensive.

You can pretty it up by welding pieces on the sides of the clamp.

In about 6 months I'll modify the passenger side mount to mount CB/Ham radio

antennas and the Drivers side will be modified to mount a fire extingusher.
