Three point seat belts
A heads up:Following a discussion with the Andover Company in Columbia, MD seatbelt sales folks who described their product, I ordered three point belts (no G-reels as they would have occluded the rear seat access on the floor) for my Series II. They arrived without all the parts for the covers at the shoulder attach point. When I called Andover to get the missing parts they said that is the way they always came and there were no complete covers for their belts. If I wanted to return them at my expense, they would credit my account, less a restock fee. In the scheme of things with these cars, it is an irrelevant sum, still most annoying.
re: seatbelts
I copied the setup from the 330 site. Just went to the Cesna dealer at the local airport and got the 3 point belts with the retrofit kit. They even look period with that funky interlocking connecting mechanism (shoulder to waist). No reel, but the installation would not look right with a bulky mechanism in the rear (I need all the room for the two Brittaxes). For the rears, I just bought generic belts at Kragen. All I have to do is find a cheap tie tack to glue into the squares( they now have this 80s GM psychadelic pattern thingy...)

The final touch is to glue Ferrari lapel pins to the pull handles or push button of your new seat belts.

These lapel pins can be found on ebay for a few dollars:

I've seen old seat belts that have had the small Pininfarina/Ferrari crossed flags (from the ashtray cover) glued on them. However, you will pay more for the flags than for the seat belts.
