The driver side belt on our '77 is almost always locked up. I pulled it out and the locking bar is always engaged. I'm not too keen on messing with it since it is my daughter's car. Does anyone know of a late-model interchange for retractable seat belts? Or something that is close? Pick-n-Pull is having a Memorial Weekend 1/2 off sale, so... If someone has suggestions for likely make/model I would appreciate it. Less time measuring cars for seatbelts is more time looking for other parts! I read some posts about aftermarket kits; http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=29253&highlight=seat http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=33946&highlight=seat http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=16133&highlight=belt http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=16845&highlight=belt and that will be my next step if the yard doesn't work out. Thanks.
