    I have been looking at retrobelt but I am leaning more towards these guys they seem to have a pretty comparable setups but allot better color selection (y)

    Kind of silly if you ask me that retrobelt only has one or two basic colors depending on the belt configuration guess it would be ok if all interiors only came in one or two basic colors

    I have been looking here: https://www.seatbeltplanet.com/

    These guys have a lot of colors, and also have the lift-latch style 3-point retractable, with a rigid latch side for bucket seats.

    Look for a 3 point seat belt on eBay. Make sure u get the buckles with them. And it will cost about 40+50 bucks for a pair

    I put Mustang Shoulder Strap Seat Belts in Two Cars so far and I can attest to the fact .. they work FINE ! .. I had Black in one car and matching Red Belts in another. The Mustang Belts fasten to ONE hole at the Front of the opening when the original dual anchor seatbelt setup is removed from the area near the floor . This is because the " spool" for the belts is considerably smaller .. I filled in the areas Behind the NEW seat belt spool and it fits just fine . I'm running " Lap Belts " in the 70 Maverick but ONLY because there is no place to fasten the NEWER belts to the upper areas. The shoulder strap isn't too annoying when you're driving , mine fits around a ten point roll cage I've installed. The belts in BOTH cars are the quick release type .. just pull UP on the flat handle and they're released. Just my take on the belt situation folks.
