Would someone please post a photo of how/where you installed seat belts on your Tudor? Thanks, Tim TIM CARLIG

Tim, no matter where you install the seat belts, they will interfere with getting in and out of the back seat. On both of my cars they are installed so that both ends of the belt come through the seat back. This keeps the short end from dropping outside of the car. I also bought reinforcing plates to use rather than the large flat washers sent with the belts. The plates are a heavier metal and spread the force over a larger area. Tom

Tom what length did you use, 60 or 74? Do you have a photo? Thanks TIM CARLIG

Tim. I'm not sure if these pics of the seatbelt install I did on my '46 Coupe will help. But I'm sure other members will add info. Here is the link to the supplier I got my belts from. I did two sets only, front and back. I made my own 1/8" reinforcement plates that are 2"x 2". The gold anodized angles are from the supplier. https://www.seatbeltsplus.com/universal-seat-belts.html

I usually buy my seat belts from a company called Seat Belts Plus. Your main concern is getting belts the correct length. As a general rule I have used the 74" ones in all my old Fords. The length is dependent on your size and whether your seats have the capability to move backward and forward.
