I was looking at seatbelts on seatbeltplanet.com. They have a listing for retractable belts that will fit a 73-76, but my 72 has the cutouts in the firewall. I currently have retractable belts on it but would like to play it safe and get new ones.

Here is the listing:
https://www.seatbeltplanet.com/seatbelts-an...ts/332/view/125

I talked to someone there and I think I can use the ones they sell. If they fit 73-76, they should fit mine, IF I have the cutouts, right?

QUESTION:
Do I need the metal "cage" piece shown in the picture? The seatbeltplanet ones do not have this piece.

I could cut a slot in it and insert the belt, but I'd rather not. I'm not sure if I can loop the belt thru it, either.

Anyone buy these or have any input/experience with this?

Anyone use this company before? They seem really knowledgeable.

I used these very ones in my '76. Direct fit, plug and play.
I'd recommend them.

Did you need or use the metal cages?
