I tripped on this the other day. No experience with them.

Another user here, parsonsj indicated he has a kit coming out, I think, if I read it right.

I'm using a belt system from Andover Auto in my '72 Chevelle SS. Nice retrofit and they installed in about 20 minutes. Cost was $144 for the front seat pair back in 2002.

Funny thing: They snagged pictures from my website and are using them on their site for the 3-point seatbelt product I'm using. I let it slide, perhaps I will ask them to donate belts to my Pro Touring project!

Ask them for a group discount!

Absolutely. I thought he asked for rear ones, which I don’t think you make. I just posted your link at nastyz28 about an hour ago. :)

I bought mine from http://www.carguysoforange.com/ , they are basically the same as the Andover ones. I am very happy with them.

If you're looking for good quality belts at a reasonable price, check out Southern Rods and Parts: http://161.58.79.191/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/cgi-bin/smpagegen.exe?U+scstore+cpjf9497ff8ba28b+-c+scstore.cfg+-C+Seatbelts+-f+20

I got a nice set of OEM quality belts with mounting kit for $120 shipped. Admittedly, they're not specifically designed for any particular application, but they fit my Mustang without any problem, and they come in a ton of colors. I've seen Andover's stuff, and the Southern Rod belts are very similar in appearance and quality.

Hope this helps...

Actually the seatbelts are speed sensitive not inertia. The angle that most
seatbelts are installed in the classic cars is to steep to use an inertia type mechanism. The webbing must come out of the housing without touching the slot in the case. An inertia seatbelt will lock and stay locked at about 15 degrees. Speed sensitive belts will lock up if you pull on them quickly.
That is how they keep you from going forward when you stop suddenly.
