Default seat belt question....Help!

i have a set of retractable belts from a 72
can they be installed into my 71
they mount under the seat and have a web guide
appears to be a tight fit next to the side of the seat
a picture of the set up in a 72 would be great if possible
not sure how it mounts
if not i may be selling some belts
Thanks Kevin

No they won't fit, especially if they are black. So you need to sell them to me.....I need a replacement set

Seriously though... 72 and 73 are the same. I believe 71's were not retractable, but I am not positive. 72's have a well under the seat to hold the retractors. If you have the well, and seat belt guide they should work...
Best of luck

The '71 shoulder belts are retractable...the lap belts are not. There is a stainless steel buckle clip mounted at the bottom-front of each seat to keep them from flopping around (back when you didn't buckle up).
