hi folks

Looking to know if the rear seat belts on my car are factory original (not seen these before, does anyone else have them?) and if so does anyone have a spare one or spare cover as one of them is without cover.... see pics. thanks! Baz

I've been set straight again! Thanks for the info Don!
Steve, there was also different ones for convertibles. Then 2 different manufacturers who's belts look the same but won't latch / interchange.

Then the 72 -3 ones could be black plastic or metal in the center.

I learned the hard way, you have to match up the codes on the belt tags.

B.T. should do weekly quiz questions on seat belts, he could do a series.

Don, don't give him any ideas. That's a surefire way for me to fail at the questions! :D

Me too, you learn something everyday! I've seen a lot of 71/73 Mustangs over the years but never noticed a buckle other than the Star Burst design. I bow to Don's experience :udaman: , I'm sure he's seen a lot more than I have. Good info. I'll try to take some close-up pics of my seatbelt buckles and we can start a seatbelt comparison thread :idea:

thanks guys, am grateful someone knows.... Don I'll get the code off the tag on the weekend and PM you...

 
I have those exact seatbelts on my 73 coupe, and I thought they were aftermarket as well.
