Child seats in classic cars
Discussion
Good afternoon.
Our 1958 A35 came out of the factory without any seatbelts.
As part of the bare metal restoration, I'm installing suitable backing plates/reinforcements and mount points for new 3point seatbelts in all 4 seat positions.
Now, at some point we will probably have a sprog and would like to use the car to go on holidays, days out and shows.
Had anyone looked at our successfully implemented ISOFIX points in their classic? ISOFIX points are only rated to 35kgs, so even at 10G, that's a peak load of 350kgs, so I'm not particularly worried about strength as that can easily be achieved, normal seat belt mounts should be much stronger than that in any case.
What do other folks do about child seats in classics?
Would love to see solutions!
