So I bought a seat from Garold at a discount because of a tear,
had the rip repaired at Barrett's in Traverse City, MI (Highly recommended although the cost of the seat now rivals a new one!)
had the grommets for the seatbelts replaced (Thanks to Stefan at GT-Classics for
graciously supplying new and improved pieces)

BUT...

I don't like the feel of the stock seatbelts over the outside margins of the seat and want to use the grommet slot holes in the seat. I have a 1974 and thus have retractable seatbelts.

What has anyone used? I'm not interested in 5 point belts for racing. I'll just be driving.

Thanks!

I also didn't want a race harness set up.

So I ordered new belts (from Seatbelt Planet) but specified belt, not the regular cable, on the female buckle end. I also went with a buckle that would pass through the seat openings so it's easier to take the seats out of the car.

Note that my retractor mounting location has been changed but I don't see why this wouldn't work for you.

PM me if you'd like to talk details.

Stoddard just released this kit which looks pretty nice to me -

Having bought from SeatBelt Planet, the Stoddard item looks quite similar. SeatBelt Plant's are $239, so a bit of a savings, too.
