I asked this in reply to the other tread about 3-point belts, but it was a few days old, so hopefully it will get more attention here.

I'd like to install 3 point seat belts in my 69 Cutlass hard top. I knew of the Morris Classic Concepts belts at Jeg's and Summit. But after reading the other thread, I learned that there are other, cheaper, alternatives.

Julianos $90 per side w/hardware http://www.julianos.com/3_point_belt.html
Wesco $80 per side w/hardware http://www.wescoperformance.com/i-32...le-install.htm (http://www.wescoperformance.com/i-3207-retractable-install.htm)
Morris Classic $280 both sides http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...CSB-1-BK&pos=8 (http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product2_10001_10002_836342_-1?source=home&coll=item714-MCSB-1-BK&pos=8)

Are the Morris belts a superior product? Do they only cost more because they are being sold thru a big retailer?

I'd like to do this soon, as I have my interior partial taken apart.

Thanks

I would like to hear from people that have installed any of the above products.

Ditto and to add to the mix.

I'll be installing into a 69 Camaro and believe that CarlC used these in his Camaro.

I have the Morris belts. While they are not a compitition belt, I've been satisfied with them for 3 years in my 1st gen Camaro. I have delux door panels and late model Camaro seats, and they are a snug fit between those. I did have to tweak the retractor bracket a little.
They cross my shoulder comfortably too.
The top bracket bolts to holes already in the roof.
