My car came with three fixed seat belts. But I don't trust 42 y/old seat belts with unknown history. So I want to change over to retractable seat belts. My MY 73 model already has the bolt holes behind the rear padding where the reel should be placed.
I think it's not wise searching for NOS & period correct seat belts. More modern aftermarkets items are my first port of call. But before I hand over the cash, what are the do's and don'ts. As said: please educate me! Menno |

Solved. I found a neat set of belts on the shelf of a local motorfactors. It's originally an aftermarket set for the rear seats of a family saloon. They were on the shelf for ages (really been gathering dust - it felt like the History Channel's American Pickers!).
The guy behind the counter handed me the pair and told me to give it a try. And come back to pay them only after I'd tested them on the car. Sets me back 90 euros.
