My 73 has lap belts. Would like 3 points
Is there an a aftermarket shoulder belt.
All the junkyard belts look like crap. Seen some trw 3 points on ebay that look O.k.

Has anybody found an aftermarket solution??

Re: seat belts?

I bought 3-point belts from Seatbeltplanet.com. Nice looking belts, price was right and superfast delivery.

Re: seat belts?

Just get a set from the junk yard that has nice buckles and then take them to a upholstery shop to get sewn up with new seat belt webbing: http://www.andoauto.com/SBLChart2.htm

Re: seat belts?

My '74 has plastic plugs covering the bolt hole on the pillar. I have also heard that the hole is not threaded.
