I need new seat belts front and Back i see some kits with retractable front belts has anyone installed them? if so what was the installation like? and where did you buy them ? Bench seat car
 
Easy as the 70 has the mount point in the headliner. I did it on a 68 sedan and had to make a mounting point,still easy. I got the 3 point retractable from Jegs but there are many places to buy from.

vernk, look around a few of the belt supplier webs. I remember seeing a mount for convertibles. It attached to the metal part of the upper rear door panel for early A's and came with bracing. I have been away from computer access for 2 months and have some catching up to do.

Moparmat. Do u remember what car the blue one is? Did u have to modify anything to install the set? The picture looks like the roof rail point is further back than the retractor. I have a 71demon and a set of mx three point belts I want to install. I am getting conflicting info as to whether or not I am going to have to pattern different attaching sites. The retractor is large at the floor but the the roof rail attach point is more than six inches farther back than the floor point. It’s a bench seat car.
Thanks,

Al Graham.
 
Please see my thread about Wesco performance seat belts I bought in the body section I believe it will detail my install a lot better. The blue car which is not mine is also a barracuda notchback I have a 67 notchback in a 69 notchback if your car already has a shoulder belt attached point in the roof you only have to add 2 attach points in the floor the pictures on my thread detail that better as far as making an attached point and where to put it
