Re: [Chrysler300] re installation of rear seat belts in 62 300H conv

["Charlie Valentine" <cross.ram@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought that I heard somewhere that the 1962 300 H was the first production car with Factory installed seat belts.

Anyway , about 5 years ago I purchased seat belts from  Eastwood to install in my 1962 300 Sport Convertible. When I went to install them all the anchor points were there. All I had to do was thread the bolts provided with the seat belts into the already threaded anchors. The seat belts came with bolts, nuts and washers, just in case you had to drill and install them that way. After I threaded in the bolts, I did go under the car and install the nuts on the threads sticking through, like a lock nut.

  Hi Fern and All:
  It has been so long---30+ years, I suppose---since installing the rear belts 
  in my H cvt. I can't remember specifics on that car. However, when 
  restoring the 300F a few years ago, I had the shop put in anchors at both the front 
  and rear. There were definately dimples in the floor pan sheet metal that I 
  took for drilling locators. I am sure the "H" would have them as well. If 
  you have trouble locating them, I can crawl under the F and give you an 
  approximate location. The dimples are pointing downward, so the intention was that 
  drilling would take place from inside the car. Hope this helps a little.
