    Correct automatic seat belt reels for my 1971 S

    Hey Guys !! I am in need for advice for the correct reels for my car. Seems the reels that I have are not the correct angle to go thru the outer vinyl cover. The backing plates are offset as seen in the photos. Would the reels be offset toward the door so the fabric would go straight up thru the outer cover ?? Does anyone have the correct reels for purchase ?? The car has automatic seat belts on the COA but were removed years ago. Thanks.

    The reels are not mounted vertically, they are canted towards the front at about a 12 degree angle, has to do with how they lock up under sudden stop (hitting the brick wall)
