Just wondering if anyone has installed retractable seat belts to an LC/LJ coupe. I have some in my HR wagon but they have an installation/anchor fitting at top of B pillar and with inertia reel at bottom they work really well, but my LC coupe have mounting point around shoulder height near rear windows, and don't think that would work. I need to get new seat belts for car and retractables are so much neater and look better. If anyone has some pics in-situ, or suggestions, would be greatly appreciated, paul

No pics mate, but I think the guys who have done this have been made to have an Engineer approve it? ( NSW)

I have done this to both my LJ coupes. It was a requirement to get the blue one on SR plates.

 

Liked it so much I did it to the yellow car as well.

 

Its very easy to do. Vicroads used to have a description somewhere in their online documents regarding the requirements for making new seatbelt mounts. They are not onerous.

I used a mob in Perth called seatbelt solutions to make a set for my FB ute. Labelled and certified inertia reels and centre lap, using original lion symbol buckles and chrome tounges. They were very good to deal with. They do the belts for some of the other mobs out there so competitive. The reels were branded Hemco, and they are another alternative although I didn’t find them as helpful.

They supplied correct mounting points at $8 per point.
