seatbelts

I recently purchased a 1979 Spider (sold my 84 GTV6) and it only has lap belts. Needless to say, I feel unsafe driving it this way. Any good ideas for converting to full belts from later cars? Is it a major job to install belts from the later cars? What's the best year get them from?
Thanks
Marco

I installed the harnesses Biba sells at the Alfacybersite (http://www.alfacybersite.com/) in my 72. I'm totally satisfied.

Thanks for the tip. I checked out the web page and it's exactly what I am looking for. A little pricey but it pays to be safe.

I installed 3 point belts on my 71. Bought the belts from Highwood alfa in the UK. Even with shipping they were about $150. I mounted by drilling through rear wheel well and mounting with 1/2" bolt with a couple of large washers.
