Default seatbelts

I put pace car seat in my 74 coupe. What seats belts will fit? Has anyone else done this. Any input would really help. I dont want to buy the wrong ones. They are pretty expensive.

Will your original 74 belts fit around the PC seats?

I'm not familiar with the seats that you are installing but I'm putting Fiero in my 73, I did not want the belts rubbing my seats as the rear belt coming from the rear. So I'm putting a 3 point belt in just like they are in most todays cars.

This does require some modifications but I'm sure it will be worth it.

I put single retractor belts in my 74. The only retractor is the one over your shoulder, the other end of the belt mounts where the other retractor was under the seat. Got them from Eckler's.

I will post some pictures later tonight on how I'm doing it. I had to modify the rear side panel as I mounted the pivot point where they are in the 75's
