I bought some recently for my 78 from retro belt on eBay for $220. I believe 78 and up c3’s need the 2 point belts instead of 3 and these were the only ones I could find on eBay and under $350 on the web. They do the job and are decent quality, but you got to make the bottom bolt hole bigger which is a pain and they aren’t easy to glide the latch on the actual belt which causes them to not want to freely retract all the way when you unbuckle but maybe with use they’ll get better. Overall I’d rate them 7/10.

Sent my worst one off to be re-webbed. Other than they put the buckle on backwards, price was reasonable. https://www.safetyrestore.com/seat-b...placement.html
