belting a BJ8

I'll do a search on rollbars later to find out just how sarcastic that was. But back to my original question. Which two point moss kit would work best in a BJ8?
 
Walter, as a minimum I would suggest the wide Performance type lap belt.-FWIW-Keoke
 
Walter:
The BJ8 cars came with seat belt anchor points even if seat belts were not installed.You have the choice of fitting Lap Belts or three point ones,FWIW-Keoke

On my BN2, the lap belt anchors are through the floor, rear corners, behind the seats. Large thick reinforcing washers under the floor. About 3" x 3" X 3/16 thick. You will have to look around underneath to find a clear space in the floor for exact location. Preferably near but not over a structural member. I don't have any idea where you would put a third point for a shoulder belt. There doesn't really seem to be a good place. Later Healeys had factory provided anchor points for three point mounting, but they are an entirely different inside layout than the Hundreds.

One of the best roll bar vendors is Autopower. They only list for 4-seat big AHs, but I'd call them and see what they can offer you...they're a good outfit:

They also sell the wider 3" lap belts that Keoke recommends (and I agree...the wide ones are nicer).
