What the heck is this thing?

[jharvat]

I have this little hook that is about shoulder height just behind the passenger door of my '73 240z. Any idea what purpose this served?

Should I assume there was supposed to be one on the driver's side too? If so, if anyone has a spare one they'd like to get rid of, please let me know.

Thanks!

I think that's supposed to hold the shoulder belt.

I am no expert, but I use that hook to hang my seatbelt, since my '72 does not have fancy retractible seatbelts...

As has been mentioned, it's for hanging the shoulder belt. There should be a "D" looking loop on the adjusting part that takes up the slack of belt (once adjusted) and that's what slips into the clip.

FWIW

That's kind of what I figured - since there are no retractors on the shoulder belt. I'm torn between using this hook and hanging the belt from the clothes hook above the window. I haven't seen this part on Black Dragon or any of the other parts sites. Does anyone sell them?
