Currently, and for the last 35 years, my car's shoulder straps were each a single strap anchored in the trunk to a frame point either side. The single anchored strap went through the rear bulk head wall with a slot and a chromed escutcheon plate on the carpet side. The shoulder strap then was sewn to form a "Y" that was the shoulder straps. Now I have spreader bar attached to the roll bar9driver side only) at the base of the roll bar hoop where it goes through the rear deck. that spreader bar has two eyes for attaching the shoulder strap ends (Yet to be employed). The thing is it's more than time everything get upgraded and the passenger is exact copy of the driver side will still need to come through the rear bulk head wall. It has the single belt coming through a centered slot. If I have to go to two separate shoulder straps going through to the trunk I'll have to cut two new slots through the bulk head and dress them up with the chromed escutcheons to separate the shoulder satraps guiding over the shoulder and away from the passenger's neck. The old "Y" took care of that. I know the harnesses I have not been recently approved by anyone, so when I go I want it to be about has correct as possible for a long as possible. So I have to change more stuff.
