Default Seat Belt Conversion Kit

Has anyone installed this in their car? Is it a bolt-in? My '69 only has lap belts and this looks like a nice upgrade...

I read somewhere that 68 and 69 shoulder retactors mounted differently than the rest. Verticle vs hrizontal or viscera

Thanks for the link. I cringe at the thought of drilling through my leather seats to install the belt guide, though!

I used that same kit to convert and was happy with the end result. One of the belts did not retract correctly and the company sent me a new one, no questions asked. Just take your time with the seats and feel for the frame before you drill. Once the hole is in the leather you can feel around for the frame with the drill bit before your hit it. Just go slow...you really don't want an extra hole

I bought this kit with the intention of putting it in my car. But when it came time to put a drill bit to my legit 7500 mile leather seats... Nope. Guess my safety has a price after all.
So it's now in the "parts for sale" section.

I just use the rear seat belt set up out of a 98-2002 Camaro/ firebird. My car is far from original. Since I have the 78-82 seats the belt just wraps around the side when I put it on.

I did the same thing for a fraction of the price... I got the idea from a forum member.
