Topic: 69 Convertible seat belt question

[agwinged]

When I bought the car all of the seat belts were in a box.  I’m ready to restore the belts but want to ensure I’m restoring what the car needs. 

There is clearing a matching set of male and female belts for the back seat along with the retractable male that pulls out of the rear interior quarter panel.  There is the front female (smaller size) for the front that sits in the center console when not in use that mates to the retractable male belt.  Then I have another set of male/female Shelby belts that look like the rear set along with a set of Front side retractor male belts.  If I put them all in the car, the front would have two sets of belts, the smaller (1968 version) that goes in the center console for the shoulder harness and then a lap belt. 

Is that right?

Thanks,
Craig

Does this help?

Yep, helps.  The female portion shown in the photo sitting on the seat mates to the retractable shoulder belt. 

Does the female bucket in the photo sitting in the console mate to a retractable male belt that has the plastic/rubber case bolted next to the sill plate or does it have a male belt mate similar to the ones in the back seat?

Thank Jeff!

The 69/70 Shelby convert does not use a retractable male belt. It is a loose belt like the back seat male ,but without the same clear sleeve protector. Bob

How much does a retractable 1969 Shelby convertible retractable seat belt cost these days?  One in working order - just the retractable side.

Are you referring to the seat belt or the shoulder harness? If the seatbelt I already answered your question in reply #3. Bob
