Gotta love the English language!

My '54 B model has rear seat shoulder harnesses. I'm not sure where they attach, but I assume it's the same as David showed. I'll get a picture of the attach points and post.

The nut plate can be added to the early 170s with out it under a service bulletin. You will have to be imaginative how your actually going to do it though with out major disassembly but it probably can be done by a daft and imaginative mechanic. I'm not sure if the back seat belt attachments where covered under the SB.

older thread, i know. wondering Dave if there was a chance you could post that pic here?
i'm really thinking of getting some shoulders for my rear seats.
much appreciated.

I'll try to get some pics this weekend.

[DaveF]

Here they are. They use AN3-5 bolts into a nut plate (I assume, I can't see it). I don't know why the first picture appears twice.

Thanks for grabbing those pics! That looks great, so easy to remove when not needed! Now I wonder why we see so little of this type. I believe this is factory?

Nut plates and reinforcing straps from the nut plate to the next rear bulkhead where installed starting sometime in the B model run. Could have been in '52 but I think a year or two later. The IPC is not outwardly definitive on this.

FWIW 81D and 95D are both 1952 and both have the rivnut and strap.
