Fitting 3 point seat belts to 2.0 Spiders

Good morning all,
I searched the forum and found 28 posts for fitting 3 point belts. Most of the info is about the Coupe or 2.4 Spiders.
It’s been about 6 yrs since the last post on this subject.
Has anyone installed 3 point( preferably auto recoil) to a 2.0 Spider.
Since I have the body totally stripped right now, I can add anchor points just about anywhere.
Thanks
Michael

Since the bodywork of the 2.4 and 2.0 liter Spiders is the same, you can do the same with yours as with the 2.4...
However, I would only install 3-point seat belts if you also have seats with headrests.

And my personal opinion...
Three-point seatbelts look awful in a classic convertible (if they weren't already part of the factory design).
The supposed sense of security offered by three-point seatbelts is also deceptive...
If you think you're protecting yourself from being thrown from the open car in an accident, discreet two-point seatbelts are perfectly adequate.
