Reply to "Pantera # 5357 - Rocky's 1973 L model"

62B83F76-3591-4387-A016-209240257426Completed my three-point seatbelt upgrade.  My stock buckle cover was in the process of disintegrating, and since we have a track day at the end of the month...

I got the FJ-40 Toyota Seat Belt kit.  It all went together very smoothly...  The main challenge was the retractor mounting on the sill, bending the attachment bracket to a precise 20* angle (so the retractor is vertical), and the fiddly upholstery work to my bulkhead cover.

I think it came out pretty nicely.

The lower mount was made more challenging because my car (5357) didn’t come stock with a bulkhead mounted 3-point belt.  If that were the case, this would really be a straightforward install.
