Seat Belt Problem
I am installing 94 F body seat belt in my 74. I have searched all of the seat belt threads and am not sure what I am doing wrong. The right side retractor points to the center counsel. It looks like retractor is to wide when bolted in. Any thoughts on what I might be missing?

I have the rears. They came out of a 4th gen and to be honest I think it was about a 94 but maybe a 95. I didn't really look at the year but know it was around there because I was drooling over the LT1 and 6 speed.

There's a stud on the wheel well just forward of the bolt hole that may be interfering with positioning. I flattened the positioning stub on my retractors.
Whats the difference between them? Early vs. late?

This thread has lots of photos and info on doing the Camaro belt install. I made this change on my 71' and didn't have to change anything except widen the slot in the plastic trim panel where the belt comes through.

Ok so its all done now and I sat down and buckled in. The seatbelt seems very short. some of the threads I have read say it will give you more room than factory. I have mine attached on the B post instead of going threw the seat like many. My lower anchor point is the factory retractor bolt. Any thoughts on that?

How did I know that was coming. I don't have to worry about that. My wife is not over weight and she won't let me have a girlfriend. So no chance of having an over weight woman in the car.
