jerryb Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Now that I have my Solstice seats installed Im going to move away from the 4 point style cam lock racing belts to a simpler set up. Ive decided on 3 point retractable belts and will go with on of these manufacturers... http://www.seatbeltsplus.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=sbp&Product_Code=WSCH300&Category_Code=3-Point-Retractable-Seat-Belts http://wescoperformance.stores.yahoo.net/resebe.html http://www.ssnake-oyl.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=Ssnake-Oyl&Category_Code=CSB Im leaning towards SSnake-Oyl because they will customize....I like the satin metal lift release and I may go with yellow stitching. Anyway.....does anyone have experience with any of these companies? Or has anyone recently installed aftermarket 3 point retractables?

Mike Mileski Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I installed some three point belts in my '71 240. The only place to locate the retractable mechanism was in front of the rear wheel housings. I placed a plate underneath the metal deck via the storage compartments for reinforcement. See attached picture. Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Mileski Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I was originally going to get them from Juliano's, who specialize in street rods, but I ended up just getting them on ebay. I don't recall the brand. The only problem is that, when they are fully retracted, there's still some slack in them. In other words, they don't retract all the way into the portion you see in the picture, I guess its because the exposed portion, when mounted into a Datsun, is much shorter than in standard applications. They still work fine, though. You will also need to buy some 7/16 fine thread eyebolts that thread into the stock Datsun mounting points to help you adapt these. http://search.store.yahoo.net/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=wescoperformance&query=rjs-101&.autodone=http://store.yahoo.net/wescoperformance/nsearch.html Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
