Default Seat Belts

Does anybody know if I can replace a two retractor system with a single retractor system? Thanks

Yes you can. Seatbelt Solutions can help you out. I got mine for $300 for single retractors in dark brown for my '76. Love them. The tip is by my shoulder now, just like a modern car.

SSnake Oyl would only restore my old ones and wanted $600.





I dyed the covers on the tip dark brown and reused my buckles with the GM logo.

How did you attach the "hanger" on the b pillar? I would like to get rid of my 2 retractor system as well.

when did you buy the belts from Seatbelt Solutions? I just got off the phone with them and they claim they do not sell retail only to vendors. This is the link I got the phone number from http://www.seatbeltsolutions.com/index.html

Telephone: 1-866-904-BELT(2358

I think the 76's came with the B post hangers. But if anyone out there has a "best way to do it" for a '72, i'm all ears as well. That would work well with the Camaro seat belts.

Cheers.
