I just got a new (to me) 67 fastback. No seat belts.

I'm looking for new 3-point retractable belts for this car. Reproduction belts for type-3s would be great but if type-1 belts work in a type-3 I'm down (up?) for that too.

Max

Yeah, I made a mount something like that for my squareback. If bug belts work I should be home free.

Thanks!

Bug belts will be too short to allow you to reach the dash controls, even at full extension. Note the length of the ones I ordered (see photos of packaging). They are a bit long, but the OEM gizmos that take up the slack took care of that.
The mounts came with the bracket set I ordered (see receipt). Note the center mount issue... a spacer is needed to fit flush and tight. Washers can do the job with the long bolts.

You can make your own brackets and use belts from a water-pumper:
