[DeTomaso] Seat Belts

[Rob Dumoulin]

I too installed these years ago but removed them in favor of a 5 point.
Although I found the retractable ones east to install, the retraction box
is quite large and interferes with seat reclining a bit. I found the latch
locked itself often while disengaged which required you to press the button
before you could buckle up which is a pain when you are trying to buckle up
by feel and after three attempts to put the latch in you realize this and
stop to push the button. I also found it difficult to access the bolt for
removal od the retraction reel because it is so close to the floor. Because
it presses on the firewall, i had to loosen them every time it needed to
come out. Lastly, and the main reason I switched to the 5 point, was the
latch portion for the passenger seat was so inaccessible I had to buckle up
any passengers.  It just was too far back and not long enough to get to at
least in my mount hole.  5 point connection is all in front.
