Seat belts from Seatbelt Planet

I ordered a set from them a month ago, and supposedly they  were going to be shipped out to me yesterday. I'll let you know in 6 more months if they fit   

The rep I talked to didn't know the specifics on the retractor mount attachment set-up and didn't have any additional photos of it either so like Vince said if you can post some photos of the attachment points it would be great.  thanks - Dave 

I found the videos. Did the OEM belts not have a locking mechanism for crashes? Looks like the dummies pulled the belts along with them as they moved forward. Might as well have just worn lap belts. Otherwise, it looks like the front acted as an effective crumple zone, and the poor belt performance takes it from minimal injuries to potentially fatal head trauma.

I finally got my set in a few days ago.  Not really sure where to mount the lap belt anchor.  It says NEVER mount two seat belt bolts to one point, but where else can I even fit the lap belt anchor?

Not to mention the female belt strap is about 2-3 inches too long.  I just tied it in a knot... Someone let me know if I'm gonna die with this plan.  Sorry, no pics, but I can try and get some tomorrow

Andrew, thanks for the info and photo but I was wondering about Inkara1's post about his adding a mounting plate to move the attachment point 6 " forward, just curious how he did it.  Since that mounting point would be taking a lot of pressure from the belt on an impact I was curious how he made it and if it was under or outside the headliner.  

Thanks for the info, it looks like it should be a good way to mount it.  

Thanks for posting, they actually seem to fit pretty well. It looks like you use the factory mounts on the floor? I can't really see the back side of the retractor too well in you picture. I wasn't sure how it would work with these types of seat belts as it comes out of the floor at an odd angle.  I am sure these would be a big improvement over the awful two piece belts our cars have.  Thanks again, these definitely look like a good option to consider.

Just a question on the extra length on the female end, I'm just wondering if with the new seat / floorpan set up if the seat height is lower by enough to make it seem longer.  Can you possibly compare the old ones length to the new one and see if there is a difference?  I am seriously considering ordering these but if the female end is longer may have to rethink it a little.   

Okay, if you could can you measure the new ones you have?  I'll just compare that to my old ones and see if there is a difference.  thanks  -  Dave

Just a little additional info, placed a call to seatbelt planet in ref to the female ends, will be receiving a call back hopefully on Monday from the person who may be able to get an option for bucket/bench seat variations on this set so if I can get the measurements before then it would be great.  thanks  -  Dave

 dave i didn't realize you needed this i can check iirc i have 1 bucket female end around somewhere... i bet the bench ones arent a whole lot different in length they do have the twist for the bench though

I’ll be honest in all my time, I’ve only noticed the specific lengths being shorter for the rear seat belts.

Okay, just to update this post, I went to our local old car yard  (was looking for some other parts anyway) and found a 72 gts with buckets and measured the female end which was 12".  I got a call from Steve at Seat belt planet and he stated the female end in the kit is 16".  He said he could put together a 12" female setup for those of us who wanted it.  He recommended getting hardware kit 950001 and altering the mounting bracket by changing the bracket angle. I will probably be ordering this combo.  If anyone else is interested in getting these Steve said to ask for him when you call so he can put together the right parts for your kit.
