Default Are there mountpoints for rear lap belts in a 408?

I read this thread http://www.bristolcars.info/forums/8...ght=seat+belts hoping to be able to fit 3 point belts in the rear of the 408 but that seems not possible without some major metalwork to provide strong shoulder mounting points. However, the photos do show some cars with rear lapbelts. Are there factory mounting points below the rear seat for lap belts?

My car does have static 3 point belts for the front seats but, oddly, the shoulder belt passes over the inboard shoulder, is loosely held by a bracket on the top rear of the front seat and then bolted to the floor near the tunnel. here's a couple of photos.

Thanks

David
