Rear seat belts?

Post by RobTwin »

After owning the car for just 22 years, we thought it about time to try and fit rear seat belts to the Sporty Satellite :roll:

The car has the original 3-point (as opposed to separate lap & shoulder belt) belts in the front, so we were hoping we could get something that matches what would have been supplied as original; in GTX's or well-optioned Roadrunners etc.

Any 69ish b-bodies out there with original rear belts? I'm not sure how Charger belts would compare, prob the same but I'd prefer to see what Plymouth belts were like.

I know there's a lot of aftermarket belts out there but would prefer to stick with one of the suppliers whose belts are supposed to be OEM style.

Definitely dont want to go bolting an inertia reel mechanism on the rear shelf if we dont need to!

Anyone? Thanks...

Thanks Neil
I've sent them an email asking if they know what type would be correct, and if they sell them.
Ash tells me his 68 GTX has just lap belts in the rear. Maybe 3-point belts werent used? :dontknow:

In my Fury I used a set from an Imperial,two piece lap/shoulder in front,lap rear.They came from Ebay Canada,there's a guy who often has good used sets on sale,cost £60+shipping. No faults with them,a bargain :thumbright:

I've ordered mine from here... www.andauto.com
$25 for a lap belt with aircraft-type buckle, $70 for 3-pt retractable belt with aircraft buckle. Quite a good range of colours and you can order samples for a couple of dollars a piece. Website a bit odd to navigate but good info once you get the hang of it!
Can't vouch for the quality as mine are coming via a mate so i've not got 'em yet.

Of all the photos I've got, this is the best 1 I could find, sorry.
The rear belts are the same as the front lap belts.
The base of the rear seat at the front has the lap belt holder/clip thingy.
They then lay forward across the seat when not in use.
Hope it helps.

Thanks Jules, yeah we've got what I presume is the lap belt holder/clip thingy at the base of the rear seat too. Is that 3 belts in the back or 2?

Ssssssnakeoyl have confirmed that rear lap belts were standard (where used) for our car, at least, according to their records. They also said the fronts would have been the separate lap & shoulder belts, so our 3-points are non standard.
They can supply a full set of fronts & rears. Havent got a price off them yet tho.

Now we know what type of belts we need, we'll keep looking at the different suppliers. We were going to use this lot for the 63's belts http://www.julianos.com/lift_latch_seat_belts.html

db - could only find new & used cars on that http://www.andauto.com/ site. It takes you to http://automotivecenter.autobytel.com/
Is that what you mean by the website being a bit odd?
