Lap seat belt


72 OJ

Recommended Posts


Then again, you might let your post "soak" a bit before giving up on it...

3 hours between your first two posts would have required someone with the exact part you need just waiting for you to post asking for that piece.

Don't forget, you're asking for ONE piece in a set of 3 (lap, latch and shoulder) belts, and asking for that set to be broken up. Some folks may have BOTH sets (driver and passenger) and while they might consider selling one seat or the other, asking for just an individual piece out of the set... well, give it time.

FWIW

Don't know if its in your budget, but replacing your old belts with some new ones is likely a wize safety move. There are several aftermarket belt manufactures. MSA has a set from one of them. Worst comes to worst I may have something tucked away....

The 76 belts are completely different.

I don't know when I might have time to root around in the garage. I think I might have the 73 belts, still. As Jim said, it's not very wise to trust 40 year old seat belts. I would get them re-webbed. Seat belts work in part by stretching some. The 40 year old material doesn't have much stretch left.

Frankly, I went with seat belts from WESCO. I have made a lot of posts about seat belts. The WESCO seat belts are much more user friendly.

Thanks for the response, please dig and advice. I will consider in buying the complete passenger set, also I want to keep the air craft type belts on my old Z.

Hang on a second there... based on what I highlighted, you may want to post a picture of the current ones, because if memory serves, the very EARLY Z's had the lift buckle style of the latter style Roadster, i.e. lift handle style and not push-button style.

As such, again if memory serves, the tongue of the early won't go into the push button style latch.

Also, for your year, the lift handles aren't the style I'd expect to find. If they were replacements from the original ones, they might be even older parts that got put into your car.

It might also give you a way of swapping an "incorrect" item of some value for other pieces that you need that others may consider less valuable.

Meaning that you might have a higher value item to trade with, in the belt set you have.
