Re: My 54 3100 pickup build

Very interested in your seatbelt installation.

It seems like anything goes here in the states - here in Arizona there's no inspection required to put my truck back on the road with several times the horsepower it had when new.

In Australia, however, my understanding is that a state-approved engineer has to review and approve significant vehicle changes before allowed back on the road. I've even seen documents suggesting "best practice" for different types of modifications.

Is there anything related to 'best practice' for seat belts in Australia? Any photos that show your approach to meeting requirements would be appreciated.

I've always thought defensive driving and a mature attitude with old cars/trucks on the street was the best way to prevent accidents. But some knowledge about the best way to install safety equipment wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks and regards,
