Well said Brian. I've used the motorcycle analogy before and that's exactly how we should treat safety in these oldies, just consider yourself exposed and take precautions.

I would however urge people to bolt the lower mounts to the floor, not the seat brace. Either way the three point belts is a "something's better than nothing" approach for me. I was actually surprised that Juliano's was willing to post instructions.
