seat belts for my coupe

[glenn in camino]

I've been looking at seat belts on the internet. They all have their mounting hardware already attached at the factory. What I want to do is make the door sides very short so they don't fall out and chip my splash aprons. Where can I buy old style seat belts that you can thread through the mounting hardware to any length you want? They need to be tan or brown.

You might try JULIANO'S in CT, I believe they have a web site, they advertise in Street Rodder magazine and I'm sure others.

I got mine from seatbeltplanet.com. They are actually the retail Web storefront for
Beam's (www.seatbelts.net).

I got this style: http://www.seatbeltplanet.com/seatbelts-and-accessories/lap-belts/m.products/23/view/2 Note how short the latch side is.

Here is a photo of my installation. The latch doesn't even reach the floor, so no chance of denting the splash shields, or getting it caught in the door.

Here are what looks like nice retractable, on Vince's site.
http://www.fordgarage.com/ I've purchased a set but have not yet installed.
I can get all the info on the company and installation procedures if you like.

if you will go to your local pick and pull wrecking yard you can get retractables out of 80"s cads or buicks, they will mount on the door sile right up against the seat, the retractable part is about 3" by 6" fits nicely and nothing to hang out of the door
