Installing rear seat shoulder belts in an 85' Targa?
Does anyone know if this is possible? I've been looking at 88 and 89 Targas and they have them but a really nice 85 has popped up locally. I want to be able to take my son in the back on occasion but without shoulder restraints it's not possible.
TIA, Lawrence |

Anything is possible, but it may take welding plates/bolts on the opposite side of the fire wall.
Then rig up a belt/lap harness. I see this would be worth the safety of your boy. Precaution, Do Not give him anything to eat if you take him thru the canyons/hills. You will soon be wearing what he ate. Ask me how I know ![]() Break a Leg Brother

I'm pretty sure the mounting points are there. you need to remove the back shelf . Call peparts for the belts.

I just had the rear deck off my my car. The shoulder belt mounting points are there. If I have them in my -84 you should have them in yours.
I need to do this also for my kids booster seats now that they are old enough.. jt |
