Hi Group.

I have just purchased a 1972 350SL, the hard/soft top 2 seater. There is a
small area behind the two seats that would hold my daughter if there was a
seat belt in the back. Anyone have any experience on how, where to buy,
where to install? a seat belt back there? There is a removable carpeted
bottom panel and may be somewhere to bolt a belt on below that, I am just
not sure.....

Looking forward to any ideas.

Thanks,
Paul

Get the back seat kit and it will come with everything... seat, belts,
everything. Back seat however is not a good place for toddlers and small
kids under 5... for safety issue.

Thanks Tiger,
Where would I get the back seat kit? at Mercedes? or somewhere else?
Thanks too for mentioning the safety issue, my daughter's 10. I appreciate
the concern though.

You need something like this...

Try ebay for used kit if you want to be frugal. The link I sent you is brand
new... WOW! I didn't know the 107 is such a long running convertible... 17
years!
