I bought both my new set of seat belt here, they are not installed yet.
I have most of the reinforcement brackets and the belt guides for my convertible, the Coupe has all from factory.

I have a extra set of belt guides, if you need it, they are a "copy" of the GM, but the are ok for a driver car.

Those belts look like they are from Seatbelt Solutions as well.

They are. I bought mine from them and one was broken and I shipped it back to Seatbelt solutions to be fixed.

Seatbelt solutions were great to work with.

I bought a set from corvette mods for my '75 they fit and look great. I kept the original female part of the buckle they work well with the new ones.

Why did I find a belt attached to the floor right behind the center of the passenger seat?



This thing is smack dab in the center. I haven't checked the drivers side.
It was buried under the carpet.

That's where they bolt. There is a steel rod over by the sill plate that guides the belt out around the seat.



72 was the first of the retractable belts but fastened the same idea etc.

Congratulations on the C3.

Camaro belts for me... did the switch back in 2001 and have enjoyed the ease of use for many years. The tan camaro belts nicely match the buckskin C3 interior.

I've ordered the set from ZIP. I'm hoping the install goes smoothly.
