Seat belts

Post by zachmac »

What's everyone recommend for replacement belts? I want tan versus black but otherwise am not to hung up on original versus modern. I think from what I've read and seen that they need to be at least 140" versus the standard 120" most sell to make up for the mounts behind the rear seat extra distance? Anyone ever used the 166" ones J C Whitney sells?

Jeff,

i have used http://www.gotbelts.com with a great success. my wife and i are not very large folks, so the 120" did us just fine, even with the stock three point locations. measure your existing belts, and gauge from there.

get too large, and the retractors will not fit behind the rear seat back.
