something like a late model belt system ? as my charger still has the 55 year belts, i'm feeling a little apprehensive about their safety factor, considering the age of the thread and webbing. and please don't get me started on the "two year belt rule" courtesy of the nhra................ i prefer the original buckles, as i don't really like the "big red button" on the late model stuff. can a late model set of belts from a ??????? be fitted, or is the solution a new set of original belts or a universal setup my best option[s] ? a big TIA to those that can offer any advice to me on this subject.

I bought a set a few years ago because the roads are getting very dangerous. I decided I didn’t want to ruin the stock look since my car is all oem. They are supposed to bolt into the factory location for the optional shoulder belts. They’re black, I’d sell them for less than they cost new. I got them from the big seat belt place, can’t think of the name right off.
I want my fair share

I can't help but think that a later A OEM setup would be much better, but they apparently aren't easily found in good condition.
Those are pushing 40 years old, not sure I'd trust them in perfect condition.

Guess I wasn't clear enough: tested by wreck. Killed the car. Walked away.
Agree on the litigation problem. Oh dang, glad you were ok though.

Sharon’s web can redo seat belts. Also there is one like Snake Eyes or Snake Oil that does it. I checked about having a set done by Sharon and it was like 800 bucks to do all with shoulder belts if I supplied the cores. I gathered about half a set so far.
I want my fair share

You have chosen: • Retractable • 3 Point Seat Belt • Shoulder Anchor Point Above Side Window • Long Sash Guide • Bucket Seat • Push Button Buckle this is what I got

Recommend U stay clear of SeatBelts Plus... These guys are flakey and dishonest.. They say the belts are in stock and take your $$. When the belts never show up, it takes multiple follow-up calls. Finally got a response. next they sent out the belts, no internal packing housings were broken. Called back for an RMA, got more more BS.. Chucked the defective belts in to the dumpster.. Just my $0.02...

I did but via different seats. (chrysler 200 convertible) Being a pillarless hardtop I didn't want a belt going up/down from the ceiling. The seat mounting is anchored through the subframe connectors. That looks really good. Most modern seats look too tall and just off even more so in a hardtop
