and I have pics of the seatbelt floor hardware that was used in the early 60's for a lot of dealer installed sets, both the Mopar pieces and what was probably available locally to the dealer. I don't think there were too many manufacturers then. AND YES one of those also made airplane seatbelts Irving Air Chute Co. I think they had to meet some federal specs as well as some ASE specs. It's quite possible that all car manufacturers outsourced their seatbelt needs. -- Paul Holmgren 2 57 300-C's in Indy Hoosier Corps #L6 A generation which ignores history has no past -- and no future. - Robert A.
