Pretty sure if they weren't fitted originally, there is no need. It may depend on state laws though

I guess some people think that FB/EKs are not too safe to drive without seatbelts. Other people think that seatbelts are unneccesary, or detract from a vehicles authenticity.
Everyone has their own opinion. Personally, I grew up without belts. I did however get used to them over the last few decades. When I bought the FB, I tried it for a few months with no belts. The kids thought it was fun, but I couldn't stand it so I fitted some.
Each to their own I guess.
Cheers,
Harv

in fact i used Fusor panel adheasive & clamped it there over night with a bolt & large washer , Fusor is what we use instead of welding large panels like van turrets its NASA designed & used on the space shuttle , NEV
