Retractable seat belts

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me what the earliest holden retractable seat belts are that will fit in the FB front and that will clear the side of the front seat. I am under instructions to replace the current ones which are a bit hows-ya-father to make it safer for the family.

I need to go off to the wreckers and have a poke around but it would be good to know what models to check out?

I think that you will find that legally the wreckers cannot sell seat belts that have been in a crash, that's the rule in SA at least.
Most of the installs I have seen are using new kits (Klippan?), I think you'll find it is pretty much "one-size-fits-all".

Troy,

Just my opinion, I think your way better off getting new aftermarket belts. I fitted them to mine, cost around $100 per belt.
After all what price can you put on safety

Cheers

You are both right I guess, it's just that I had left this job to last and my 'car money' has run out.

Where is the best place to go for aftermarket seatbelts then?

Is Klippan the brand I should look out for or are there other brands that will fit with the reel clearing the side of the bench seat?
