I am thinking about three point seat belt options for the Dart. I might run the lap belts for now but would like to upgrade. I have done plenty of searching but wanted confirmation from some of you Dart / A-body guys on what you are running.

I think the long sash version seems to be what guys are running. Are these kits all inclusive? Do they bolt in to factory mounting points?

What options are there for the rear seat?

Thank you!

I remember an old Mopar Action article where Rick installed a 3-point set using oem parts. Maybe check their archives and see if its still around?

I have done a few unibelt-style 3-point conversions. The older ones used components scapped from junked late-'70s Mopars. They work the best (no inertia reel, actual impact-sensor pendulum) but are more of a hassle to install, hadda have shoemaker do some stitching with nylon thread.

Most recent: In early B-body, I used an aftermarket inertia reel setup from Seat belt supplier - not as good as factory unibelt system, but a lot better than any pre-unibelt factory 3-point setups, and easy to install. See pix.
