Re: [Amc-list] Seat Belts

Thanks guys, This is the kind of info I'm looking for.
I don't want any big surprises when I get into it.
I'll have to take some time to see if I can figure out how to safely mount rear should belts.
 I really want them, few years ago a woman and her children were in an accident with a semi. The woman lost her life. All three children were paralized from the waist down due to the seat belts breaking their backs.  That would be something that I would have very hard time dealing with....
