What's involved with installing retractable seat belts? When I bought my 1970, it had no belts at all. I put in some crappy stock non-retractable belts years ago, but they are and always were crappy. I'd like to put in something better. Suggestions? Just lap and shoulder retractable should be all I need.

Don't!

I have actually come to really like the non-retractable belts in my '70.

Set them once and forget about it.

Andy - My 72 has belts that sorta retract. They are a bit balky. Can I make them non retractable? Or are you talking track belts?
