Hi everyone, I just installed a set of t3 retactable front seatbelts (taken from a '70's T3) into my '69. I'm not sure if they work. If I pull on the belt and tap the spool with a mag-light, the inertial ratcket works, stopping the belt from unwinding more. BUT when i'm driving at 30 mph and step on the brakes the spool doesn't lock. (granted i didn't lock up the brakes in a panic stop, but i deccelerated quickly enough to have my body's unchecked momentum take me toward the steering wheel!) Question T3 land: Is this typical of your factory '70s seatbelts? is there any thing i can do to help mine work better? thanx in advance ned '69 square ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
