Re: seat belts?

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?
biggest issue is going to be bolting it to the pillar since you dont have that provision

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.
