    Our daughter has a 74 Mav and it only has some of the seat belt pieces still in it. We need to get her seat belts ASAP because she wants to drive it everywhere and everyone wants to ride in it. We need the female plugs all the way around, front and back, and the lap and shoulder strap for the driver's side. The current set is black. Can anyone help us to find where we can get ones to replace the missing pieces or let us know what other ford models would have the same system in them? The clips are the ones with the small square openings and we don't know which buckle style it is because they have all been taken out. Otherwise which company is best to just order new ones from if we have to replace all the pieces. In the back seat the straps retract into the wall, I don't know if that's normal but those pieces are there in the wall there is just nothing to plug them into. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

    There are several different types and sizes of belt ends put on these Mavericks. You would find it easier to put after-market belts in.

    Any ideas on a company that makes seat belt replacements that are good seat belts and easy to install?

    My auto parts store sells after market belts as kits. I don't think they are targeted at any specific vehicle. They just fit "everything".

    If you go to ebay motors and search "maverick" there is one guy only selling seat belts at fair prices. I bought them and modernized my 72 with retractable shoulder belts. Works great and good quality. He is reputable.
