Well i don't mean to sound too dumb but I was wondering how the two seperate pieces of the seat belt come together. If someone could post a picture i would gladly appreciate it.

Different years connect differently. What year are you asking about?

I'm assuming you're wondering how the shoulder belt portion connects to the lap belt. If you're wondering how to fasten the seatbelt then you might be beyond help.

There's a slot on the metal "tab" end of the lap belt. You have to kind of move the webbing out of the way to see it. That's where the shoulder portion attaches.

does it attach to the directly to the metal portion of the shoulder belt? This is for a 4/72 240z

Yes. There should be a small "knob" on the shoulder portion that fits in the slot. I can take some pictures when I get home if needed.

Here are a couple of shots that should make it more obvious.

My car is in the shop getting a new rear differential mount installed. Ive only driven it twice and i really didn't know how to put the two pieces together. (i had the shoulder looped with the lap going through the loop. I was pretty sure it wasn't meant to go that way)

If you don't have retractable shoulder belts, don't use them. I can't drive with those things on. Can't even reach the heater controls, etc.

Just have them as loose as possible that way you can still reach every thing

In Oregon or Washington if you are not wearing the shoulder strap the fine is over $100.00 . If you have either the lap belt and or the shoulder belt loose and you get into a accident where they were needed . Your injuries will be far greater. In my '73 , I used '75 280Z shoulder belt retractors . They bolt on in the same place the original belts did, and they work great. You need to use the 280 belt with the early metal clip so it will attach to the lap belt. This way both belts retract and you are free to tune the radio or reach the window crank or what ever. I don't feel restricted by the belt at all, but any sudden movement froward it will lock up and stop forward movement. For the Zs with out the pocket in the floor for the lap belt retractors I have been told to look for a 2+2 front seat belt retractors that they bolt on to a flat floor. I haven't seen them but this is what I have been told. Gary

well my radio and heater don't work as of the moment so i think i'm going to stick to the normal seat belt. i will most likely only be driving to and from work 5 miles each way at least twice a week.

I have the old school seat belts in my 71 240Z. It is simple to unbuckle to reach across the car. A snug lap belt and slightly loose shoulder belt allows full access to the dash controls. I'd never consider driving without a lap/shoulder belt on. Contact with the steering wheel or dash at any speed would cause more physical damage than I care to suffer through.
