My question is, can I convert my car to
the more modern single belt setup with the retractors? Has anyone done
this conversion and, if so, what is involved? Are the parts available
from the vendors?
I got the parts from Wilkinson. He has a retractor unit that fit into the
same hole as the stock unit. He supplies a special bracket to mount it that
he makes. You have to mess to adjust it as you bolt it in so that it pulls
out. Remember how those belts in the 70's would stick some times when you
pulled the belt. Mine work great. Comes with new receiver to bolt tot he floor
between the seat and tunnel. Fits the stock bolt in the firewall. I like
them. Only thing I had to do was strip the paint off the piece that bolts in
the floor with those four screws. Fill a couple of tiny hole (1/16") where
the original unit had a couple of screws and repaint.
