Floridastang 13 Report post Posted September 15, 2015 I am looking to install 3 point seat belts in the front of my 69 Fastback. It was originally equipped with a shoulder belt but not of the retractor variety. I am looking for a bolt in retrofit not a fabrication project. Any help would be appreciated.

danno 128 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 If you are ambitious, you can grab one from a salvage yard. Look at some of my other posts, I have pictures of what I used. It was the system from a 1985 Ford, works perfect and cost me a total of $10. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JD08 42 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 I used the 3 point set from NPD. I used original style hardware rather than the stuff that came with them. It really was a quick and easy install. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 Scott Drake offers 3 pt. kits that use buckles that mimic the originals for 1969. One place that carries them is Summit Racing. I will add, I tried installing 3 pt. seat belts in my Mach 1. The larger retractor assembly prevents the front seats from moving to the full rearward position. I'm only 5'-10" and I need the seat all the way back for leg room so the 3 pt. seat belts would not work. I didn't want to try to relocate the retractor so I reinstalled the original seat belts. Plus these 3 pt. retractable belts install a bit odd. The retractor assembly and the lower fixed mounting point share the same mounting bolt unlike any car that comes with 3 pt. retractable seat belts from the factory. Also the buckle end doesn't fit right if you have a factory console. NOT MY THUMBNAIL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave R. 85 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 I used belts from Juliano's Hot Rod parts. Retractors on the front and non-retractors for the rear. Easy bolt in and there is pictures somewhere on their site showing install steps for a '70 sportsroof. Dave R. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
