Just a quick reference: David Chapman's excellent website has nice
photospread and instructions for seatbelt installation in the rear, where
it's tricky, at
http://www.amphicars.com/actbelts.htm . There's lots of
other great stuff and links on the rest of his website, too.

Subject: Re: [amphicar-lovers] Seatbelt retrofit
saw that story too- family of 5 like mine just out for
evening drive hit home. One of the first things I did
was put the seat belts in. I'd take the chance myself
driving without them but not my kids. Lap belts won't
prevent injury as good as shoulder belts but key is
not getting thrown from car as all 5 did in story you
reference. They were just on a surface street too, not
highway.
Front's are easy since you have late model with
attachment points. Backs are more of challenge but I
came up with fairly easy solution that will be easier
to show you to explain. I can help you do it and/or
give you a picture and explain what I did.
