I have recently acquired a pair of '05 GTO front bucket seats to replace my original split bench. I am currently looking into Morris, Andover, or salvaging/retrofitting a set of belts from a suitable late model. Ideally, I would like to go with late model GTO belts and retractors, as the latch plate would fit the latch that is integral to the GTO seat. (My assumption here is that any "off the shelf" GM A-body 3 pt retrofit kit, would have a latch plate sewn into the webbing that does not match/fit in my '05 seat latch.) Obviously, originality and "original looking install" are not primary concerns, and I am only concerned with belts for the front seats - at this point. My questions are: 1) Is there any reason that late model GTO belt assemblies would not work? or be the best option? 2)Should I unbolt the GTO latch assembly from the seat and bolt early A-body bucket seat style latches to the floor so that I could use an "off the shelf" retrofit kit? or 3)Should I see about getting a custom retrofit belt built that incorporates the A-body specific belt, roof bracket, and retractor with the '05 GTO latch plate. This is my first post here, so thanks for your patience..
