Hey guys, can someone tell me if the front seats on a 66 Satellite tip forward to allow access for rear passengers without disengaging any lever? Mine simply tip forward when pulled - I can't even see any locking mechanism.
The reason I ask is I'm just about ready to register the car and have started worrying about the lap belts only. The rear seat isn't so bad as I can fabricate some shoulder harnesses for the kids, but I don't want 3 point seatbelts up front as they are ugly and I don't want to remove the headlining to install mounts. I was thinking of some four point harness that attached to the back of the seat itself and tucked away out of sight when not in use, but that isn't going to work if the seat back just flies forward in a collision. Surely they would lock somehow?
The seats are as per the attached pic (not mine unfortunately)
