Early seat belt recommendations?


Recommended Posts

My car is a 71 and has the 3-point mounting hole below the rear-side window. I don't want to drill or weld tabs on to the B-pillar and I'm O.K. with the inconvenience of the earlier style. I believe the ones from Mobile Tradition are the 72 and-on style. I've been driving with only an old Willans lap belt. Any recommendations/ Thanks

my 69 25 years ago and they're working just fine--happy to share how. Let me know if your car has the shoulder harness mount on the door post or under the rear quarter window. You can make either work.

I use the "spagetti" Klippan belts which probably became standard arround 1970. Here are some cheap belts that will work fine and have a period look:

Just installed a pair (new) I got on eBay for $79 or so last week - others available. TEasy install and they work fine, but I like my original Repas better. Am thinking about refurbishing my original retractors which won't fully retract. Have tried oiling but no better, so am ready to tackle the retractor spring. I know it's a ticklish job but what's to lose? Anyone know how to remove the black plastic retractor spring cover? Tried prying but it just won't budge.

Once that cover comes off be ready for the spring to uncoil like the snake in the can trick, only better. Once they come apart they usually will not go back together. Good luck!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
