Default Seatbelt question 71 Corvette

Do all 71 Corvettes have shoulder belts? Anybody have a picture of the shoulder belt set up? Thanks, Bill

Standard equipment on coupes, optional on convertibles.

Hi Bill,
The shoulder belts and their retractors are mounted on the upper part of the rear wheel-well housings. They were concealed by an extension of the rear quarter interior trim panel.
It passed through a slot in the upper trim of the seat back. A plastic sheath held it at that point until the driver clipped it to the rest of the seat belt buckle.
Regards,
Alan

Peg the shoulder belt clips to:
