Re: Best 3 point seat belts. Suggestions
I Just installed the LMC 3-point belts in my '70 with bench. They installed OK, only LMC needs to make better instructions( actually ANY instructions would be nice), and if you still have the tank behind the seat they are a pain to install on that side unless you drill a new hole to relocate the retractor. I was able to use all the factory mounting points.
They look great just like factory, but do have overly sensitive retractors. I assume thats because they have to fit so many applications. You have to put them on a bit slower than say a modern truck or they'll catch. For me not a big deal, I'm already used to it. And since my daughter will drive it, I don't mind a belt works more aggressively.
LMC's Kit does include hardware and re-inforcing washers if you choose to drill new holes. There are other belts on the market, or pull-outs from salvage that many like as well. Like others stated, if you use anything other than the stock mounting points, you must use reinforcements
