Seat belts

Post by zachmac »

Has anyone ever tried these as replacement belts?

I am particularly concerned whether or not the will retract or pull out when mounted as per the stock Fita location and then be pulled at 90 degrees to the way they show?

i buy my belts at http://www.gotbelts.com and they are pictured the same as that. be sure you buy a belt long enough! i think 120" is the length required, but double check.

Mike,

Thanks for the link. Those are both cheaper AND say they will work with the unique mounting position versus pulling angle our cars impose. Ordered my set today!

glad to be of help. BTW- i cut the "d" ring off mine, since there is no real place to mount that loop.
