Fred - The guy who welded mine used MIG because he said is doesn't throw sparks and greatly reduces the risk of a fire. That said, the undercoating can get hot enough to smolder or burn, so we were ready with a fire extinguisher, but didn't need it.

thread revive here, sorry....but, all my 124 Coupes have had setups for a fixed shoulder belt (essentially, a fixed belt that latches onto the latch of the lap belt...functional I'm sure, but incredibly annoying for normal driving. Curious what folks have done that works well on 124 Coupes - specifically, that places the shoulder belt at a height that would not be effectively compressing you in the event of a rollover...in other words, with the shoulder belt rear fixed point slightly above shoulder height rather than below (which I realize is not necessarily the case with the factory belts in the later cars)
