    I need some help. I have a 74 grabber maverick that I'm currently working on. This car is missing the shoulder straps. I can't say as I actually understand how these seat belts are supposed to look but I know that the upper straps are supposed to be bolted to the inner roof. Can I get a set of these straps made? Mine are supposed to be orange, so maybe if I found the hardware I could find similar webbing material? Any advice would be appreciated.

    If your car is a 74 with Orange interior, the seat belts will be black. The shoulder belt is one piece with the lap belt. They mount into the inner rocker panel and to the roof.

    It looks like a previous owner cut the seat belts out of your car...as I see nothing left.

    the seat belts are orange, or at least the lap belt is. I can still use it as it retracks behind the rocker. I'll take some better pictures to show you.

    The belts in my 74 are black. They are in good condition but faded.
    I'll get some pictures tomorrow.
