[DeTomaso] Ebay seat belts

[Ian H]

I bought a set but haven't got around to installing them yet.  I was hoping 
the spools would fit inside the rear covers on the firewall of my 74L, but 
they are too big.  I need to modify them to work.   Also I gave away the 
covers that go on the door sill, so I need a new set of those.

As far a quality goes, they look fine to me.  They appear to be the same as 
the Jeep CJ/ ToyotaFJ belts that other Pantera owners have used.

I have a set from Pantera East and don't like them because the spool in in 
the rocker  and the shoulder point is fixed so you cant move your upper 
body.  The one on ebay have the spool on the floor at the shoulder side, 
which allows you full movement while you're driving.  Just like any modern 
car.

Hope that helps,

Ian
