Rear seat shoulder harness in an E?

[Immelman]

My '66E has been modified with shoulder harnesses for the front seats.

Does such a mod exist to add shoulder belts to the rear seats? Googling around I see images of newer-generation Mooney aircraft with rear seat shoulder harnesses. I'm not sure how the geometry of the tubular structure would allow or not allow that on a vintage bird...

There was a recent thread on this.

Thank you, for finding that thread, my search was not effective!

My 65’ E has rear seat shoulder harness mounts. When I bought the plane the belts weren’t installed but the hardware is there. When I had the belts rewebbed, I didn’t have the company make the shoulder belts. Maybe I should have. I can take pictures if you need some.

If its not an inconvenience that would be awesome!

I suppose removing the interior a bit is in order to see what the structure is like.

It has been very seldom I've had people in the rear seat. Now with a 5-year old, if we ever go somewhere (family of 3) it is more in the forefront of my mind.
