Default Seatbelts in a Deluxe Phaeton

Since the Model 180A (Deluxe Phaeton) has a different floor configuration, how have others installed front seatbelts (for the 180A, 190A or 400A)?
I realize that they do not provide you with the protection everyone expects in modern cars, but I just want something that we keep us in the vehicle if a door happens to open.

Norm, the biggest issue you will have is attaching to the Pan, -and what happens to the pan in the event of a crash? The belts must be able to pull from an aft position to the occupant to keep them securely in/on the seat Cushion and against the Backrest.
