  View original topic: Where can I get inexpensive aftermarket lap-belts?
Eric71Bug Wed Feb 24, 2010 7:49 am

My 71 Super doesn't have any seat belts... previous owner took them out for some reason. I have the aviator-style shoulder restraints in a box, but they are crappy. I spoke to the South Carolina DMV, and they told me that for a 71, I only need lap belts.

So... do you know of someone that makes an aftermarket kit for front lap belts? I want to get the kind which spring-retract into a housing, just like all them fancy folk have. haha. And... I'm trying not to spend a fortune. The car isn't exactly showroom quality.

Thanks, Eric.

So you are saying that there are unsafe seat belts on the market? Seat belts have to meet certain safety standards when they are manufactured. Just because one is priced less than another does not mean it's unsafe.
