no one makes a aftermarket hub for bbody to run momo wheels - so I bought a cuda aftermarket hub, had it milled down at a machine shop and now I run a momo proto steering wheel

Oh man, how did you get it to fit?
That's the wheel I wanted to use in my Satellite, but between it being just over twice what I wanted to spend and not being able to determine if I could get a mounting kit for it for my Satellite, I gave up.

I found mounts for everything from Chebbies to Ferraris, but nothing for B-Body Mopar.

So, I ended up pulling the trigger with a wide Corbeau LG1 in black Microsuede and a Momo Mod.07 steering wheel. The car will be getting a 5-point belt, but I'm unsure of what brand at the moment. The Dart is also getting an 8-point cage with a swing-out door.

Are you mounting the wheel on the stock column? Do they have a kit?

That's up in the air right now. My column was a little messed up due to the last time I rebuilt it. I forgot to install something or installed it correctly and it caused radial play within the column and my turn signal lever to travel anywhere between 7 and 11 o'clock. If they can salvage my column, I believe they're going to try to make it removable. If not, they may try installing a tilt column.

Definitely... Those seats are the only one that fit, the shop gets a discount on Momo products, and the cage is because I don't want to get seriously injured or die. Let's face it, these old cars are tin cans. If I crash at a high speed, or even on the streets, I'd like to be able to walk away from it.

Im going to adapt a 6 bolt adapter to a Grant adapter. They make 3 bolt to 6 bolt adapters. Mine is only 1/2" thick too, going with a 2.5-3" deep wheel.

Post some pictures when you do it. I want a Momo wheel in the worst way.

I had to combine a Momo adaptor and a Grant adapter. It's been a few years, so I don't have the part numbers - Sorry... whiney

As I recall, the Grant adapts the Mopar column, then from the Grant to the Momo steering wheel adaptor to the Momo wheel. wrench

I got these because they're the only race seats that are wide enough for my hips and my shoulders that would accommodate a 5-point belt.

http://corbeau.com/reclining-seats/lg1.html

If you want a kind of period-ish low back look, you may want to try these.

http://procarbyscat.com/seats/Rally-Lowback

But they have other seats.

http://procarbyscat.com/Seats

They even sell adapters for our old mopars. Plus, you can get them from Summit.

I just ordered a 3-point conversion kit for my '72 Satellite made by seatbeltsolutions.com. The kit for just the 2 front seats costs roughly $300, but I found them on Amazon for $144. Reason being it is a universal kit instead of direct fit. I think they can build custom units if you have special needs. They also have colors galore!

Welp, my 3-point conversions from Seatbelt Solutions arrived today, and they are excellent! BTW... made in the USA! Mine have the chrome hinge release instead of the button, and they look great! The only thing that is different from the OEM replacements is... the belts are 7 panel webbing instead of 4, like the factory belts.
And the slider loop where the shoulder attachment bolt is located, does not drop down about 7"-8''. This causes the shoulder strap to ride up on my neck, so I will fabricate a drop down segment myself. It's well worth saving a 160 bucks!

Additionally, I don't see any 5-point harnesses on their website.

I'd like to know how to post pictures on Moparts, but I am dumb-founded. So sorry, but I could draw you a picture and send it to you by USPS. Ha-ha-ha!

Mine looks just like the one in "72Swinger's" reply, but mine has the retro style chrome release levers, and minus the 8" sash guide. Do a search for "3-point conversion seat belts" on Amazon.com" and you'll see the ones that I bought.
