Retractable shoulder belts

[player1up]

I have a 73 duster with the 2 piece lap/shoulder seat belts and want to put in the retractable shoulder kind.

Where are the mounting holes for the belts?

I have the hole at the top just above/behind the door and the one on the floor below the door panel, but I'm guessing I would need to make a hole on the floor next to the seat for the lap belt between the seat and the door.

any pics or measurements?

Thanks

The retractable should belt should be a different retracter that contains muh more belt. A 3 point belt that replaces all original belts. No added holes required.
Somone may have them from a later model car or aftermarket has them.

so the 2 circled tabs get mounted to the same bolt?

Sweet, I didn't know you could buy kits like that. Where did you get it from?

I think JC Whitney has them. I'm sure others do too.

I see them often on ebay too. lap belts listed at 67 cuda and 3 point listed at 68 cuda. If you want 3 point in a 67 it can be done. The bolt hole behind the headlinner is there.

I'm doing this same Mod on my 71 Duster except I'm changing from a front bench seat to bucket seats, now here comes the fabracting part, I now have to add a anchor nut for the retacters both just in front of the rear seat outboard corners and one in behind the rear side seat panel, the rear panels also has to be cut out to accomidated that retractor and cover plate, Has anyone ever done this?

I bought a set of double retractable belts from a newer A body(74 maybe?). So they retract both for the lap and shoulder belt. The only modification I did was to remove the rear door panels and tuck the shoulder belt retractor roll inside the rear seat panels. And they can use the same anchoring bolt as the rear seatbelts. I just drilled one hole in the retractor mechanism and through the inside metal frame next to the rear seats to hold the retractor. then the only visible modification is to cut a slot into the door rear door panel to let the belt feed through to the roof mount for the shoulder belt.

It works well.
