Title: Seatbelts
Post by: Matto on July 02, 2011, 07:28:04 PM

Does anyone have a seatbelt design they would recomend for the front seat of a willys jeep? I'd like to find something that would bolt to the fender and floor for driver and passenger side.

I bought mine at JC Whitney - they have several types at pretty good prices.  I went for the old chrome flip style like you might see in an old car or airplane,  Easy to mount and they work well.  Needless to say, they are just lap belts.

When I get to the point of adding belts to my 3B I will look at these:

I like the idea of being able to remove them with little effort.

Thanks for the replies. I like the aircraft style lift buckles with black webbing. Good link to the M38 installation, the removable hooks are a good idea.

I found a roll bar from an old wrangler and installed that, it has the mounting holes for the shoulder harness style belts so I used those, works well, had to heat up the part that has the buckle, it mounts to the floor but has a hard plastic stand up, in the normal configuration they pointed sideways, so I heated them with a heat gun and twisted them to reset.  worked.
