has anyone swapped out the original belts in a 69 B body to aftermarket 3 point belts ? if so, whose kit did you use ? this question applies to my charger, and it's original shoulder belts. can the aftermarket belts use the original attachment point in the roof panel ? TIA to all who can help.

We have aftermarkets in our 70, no problem. Trying to think of the maker, but well known.
they work fine and no problem on the install.

Looked up my records and bought from XV Racing, but they are into carbon fiber stuff now. Plenty of hits on the net though.

i had a similar thought, although using belts from a newer sedan of ???? make or model. my main concern was if the roof mounting structure was strong enough to use inertia type belt assemblies like those found on new[er] vehicles. also, if the belts are a little longer or shorter than the factory 69 belts are, how much can a guy get away with in that situation ?

I bought a set, maybe from seatbelts.com. I’d have to look in the box. I got them, but pussed out on installing in my all original 69 car. They attach to the factory mounting point. I had the factory shoulder belts in my last rr and really miss them. Just felt better, even if they’d rip right out of the roof in a hit I still like them.
I want my fair share
