1975 280Z Owners (seat belts)

[LBO730]

Could I get one of you guys to take a pic of your overhead retractable seat belt mount? The area above and to the back of the side windows. My interior panels have been covered and I'm not sure exactly where the seat beat anchors mounted. (been to long since I took it apart)

Thanks

Any 75 Owners?

Try the 1976 Body chapter. The 1975 chapter is missing, but 76 should be the same.

Thanks Zed, I have the 75 FSM but it doesn't really pinpoint where they mount. I'm pretty sure I know, I just don't want to poke a hole and then find out I was wrong.

This is from my 5/75 280z

Thanks Jonathan, Thats exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate it! One more question, what holds the top of the taillight surround panels to the body? Is yours rivets or screws? (Runs along the flat area where the hatch closes down) Thanks again for your help, I took this car apart 7 years ago and didn't take enough pictures.

I have a 280Z 1977 whish is probably the same. It uses screws (philips head with a thin metal pressed washer) to hold the top of the taillight panels. Thats the plastic inside panel and the outside surrounds and taillight plate.

I think this is what you are asking for. The are plastic rivets with push pins in the middle. Get them from MSA.

For my 5/75 280z, the plastic tail light panel fastens to the hatch deck using the same plastic interior rivets you find all over the interior.

For my 6/72 240z the tail light panel fastens using tiny versions of the plastic interior rivets.

Both cars are low mile cars with original paint and are very original so I feel pretty confident that they are as the were when new.

This is exactly what my 5/75 280 uses.

I wonder if one of these seatbelts will work in a 240Z.
