My '70 Sqwuarback has inertia reel seat belst in it. Aftermarket ones, I need to replace one of them currently and i'm looking around for a replacement of a similar type (the type which is on a stalk), my belts do not use the original centre seat belt buckle the retractors are on the floor just in front of the rear seat. i once saw a mention that setabelts from a golf or a rabbit might fit as well. --------------------------------------------------- Heads Together Systems Pty Ltd PO Box 2103 Dee Why, NSW, 2099 Sydney, Australia Net: hts@hts.com.au Tel: 612 9982 6767 Fax: 612 9981 3081 Visit our Web Site at http://www.hts.com.au Minds are like parachutes, they work best when open.
