    Retractable belts installed

    I just fitted these retractable front seat belts from a company called "Andover" (around $190 for the pair) and can report that they fit and work well. Such an improvement over the old fixed 3 point belts- I should have done this sooner!

    Where do they bolt in the rear? I need to replace my belts. Do you have a link to the seller?

    Question- Is the height of the lower lap belt section correct. I thought I read where lower the better?

    http://www.andoverrestraints.com/ is the place. My car is a '68 and the spool section bolts to the stock shoulder belt location. The ends of the belts attach directly to the stock eye bolts. They don't ride any higher than the fixed belts do, which is just a function of the mounting point location. I am able to cinch them down suitably low for me.

    Dennis- They are R seats from Vintage Seats. http://www.vintageseats.com/ It's probably best to talk to Michael about pricing.

    I have a 72. The stock belts bolt high on the B pillar. The picture shows the retractor bolting below the rear side window. I don't think mine has a bolt receptor there
