I want to add some child seat anchor hooks like you find in the newer cars. Has anyone done this on a first gen camaro and if so where did you get the hooks? Ive seen the top hooks on Ebay but cannot find the bottom ones. Maybe I can make something from parts I find at the hardware store?

Thanks guys

We had a car in the shop once thad had them in it, The owner told me they made it out of round stock, I just made the back seat to fit. I'll try and find pics if I can.

My buddy did round bar in his 66 Nova for the bottom 2 hooks. I'm not sure what he did for the top hook. I'm thinking about doing the same for my 68 Camaro. Another option would be the new Morris rear three point seat belts.

Im making a set for my girlfriends 66 Mustang so I can put the seat in the rear middle. When the Camaro's come back from paint Im going to do the same thing to them. I will also be doing a stress pull on the mustang to give me a piece of mind.

Gotta protect our babies as best as we can.

If you look at the ones in a new car they are not exactly substantial in girth. Some are probably 1/8" solid round stock. The key is how they are attached. On the bottom ones I would try to tie them into the existing seat belt bolt holes. The package tray was never designed to take that kind of load (in an actual accident) so I would get a lot more creative there.

Good idea for a thread, I've been thinking about this too. I just might not have mine done before car seats are no longer required anyway.
