1966 Mustang - rear seat belt mountings

[theopenroad]

I have a 66 Mustang Fastback which has front lap belts fitted.

As our car goes out on hire by families I am keen to install seat belts in the back as well for obvious safety reasons.

There are small slots in the corner of the rear seat as if to allow seat belts through the cushion. Does anyone know if there are seat belt mountings already fitted to the bodywork of a 66 Mustang?

i think there are bolt holes in the floor, for some reason i remember them being there last time i changed a set of floorpans.

65 and 66 had no rear seat belt holes unless ordered as a option

Just spoke with a guy at work that has a 66 here's what he used to install rear belts Classic Ford Mustang Seat Cushions - Seat Belts - Hardware: 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973

they must be a standard option on replacement pans, im pretty sure the last set i installed had holes in them.

You are correct !!!! I believe rear belts came standard starting in 67

Then my mustang must have gotten them as options. My 66 has never had its floor pans replaced, but when we replaced the old belts we found that there where four sets of belts in the parts box in the trunk. the holes for mine were in the floor pan, just under the large opening between the rear back seat cushion and trunk. The 2 inner holes are just to the left and right of the transmission hump, and the outer holes where pretty much right behind the back corners of the bottom cushion. But you said yours was a fastback, and mine is the coupe/notchback. But still, I hope this helps.

I still haven't had time to look, but that makes me think it is definitely worth checking out.
I'll lt you all know what I find.

Thanks.
