Is there a thread on here for how to do a 3 point seat belt install in all years .
Would this be a good one to add to form ?

Lots of cars in the junkyard that are less than a year old.....just like back in the day.I would NOT use a belt from a junkyard. Mechanism, hangars, etc. ok. but the fabric itself weakens over time. Go get them re-done, cheap insurance!!
I heavily considered using some modern Challenger take-outs for mine. The thing that stopped it for me was that some retractors have a secondary lock-out for if the car is upside down. Meaning, if you don't install the retractor in the exact same orientation as the original installation, it will lock up and not work.Lots of cars in the junkyard that are less than a year old.....just like back in the day.
I just installed 3-point seatbelts in the rear of my '72. I got the assemblies from Wesco, but designed my own brackets. If anyone is interested I can give more information or share my bracket flat patterns.

Here is the link to the belts I ordered. There are a few options (color, buckle type). I asked them to reduce the buckle end to 4.5" since 12" would be too long.LOVE IT! Awesome work and Thanks for sharing. Would you mind posting or PM'ing me the contact info for Wesco with P/N as well as your bracket flat patters? I want to install some 3 points on my 68 Satellite Hardtop Front and Rear.

I'll send you a PM with the flat patterns if it'll let me. Keep in mind that there are probably some differences between the 68 and 72. You may have to tweak the design.

Those are from a late model Subaru. I found them on Ebay. You can still buy them new through a dealer though. There were a few other options that I considered, but those seemed like the best for what I was doing.Where did you get the trim pieces on the top of the rear deck that the seat belt goes through?
