Re: IML: Seatbelts needed for 61

["Frederick Joslin" <fljoslin@xxxxxxxx>]

Most of the cars from the 60s and 70s have this style of seat belt. I would go to a any junk yard with older cars and I bet you could find what you want.

I think it would be a little nicer to have a "Mopar" seat belt that is close to the correct vintage and matches the interior color. These seat belts clean up pretty well if you get one that is a little grotty.

  Hmmm, A plain aircraft style with nothing Imperial specific about them? If thats so maybe I will just order from JC Whitney, the price is right. My car has a greenish/blue cloth interior like the ones you see in a 61 custom.  I need to figure out the right length, the generic ones I have are too short unless I adjust the seat way back. I also wish I knew the correct hole locations under the back seat, I read somewhere that some cars have plugs where the seatbelt bolt would go but mine doesn't seen to have any.

That is the style that my '60 came with from the factory, only the webing was white to go with the white leather.

Hola Frank

 

What you may think think as the "air-craft" style seat belts are what was used in yester-year.  Just look for the flip the large chrome lid, black webing type that bolt to the floor.

     My 61 never came with seatbelts. I would really like to find an original set. I imagine a 62 or 63 parts car could have the correct buckles.
