In Reply to: Seatbelts: From bench to Bucket... posted by Paulie on September 15, 1999 at 13:41:09:
The belts for you bench seat will work with the bucket seats unless you just like the look of the other ones you don't have to change them. If you want to the bolts that hold the belt to the floor are Torex head bolts and are screwed into a permanent nut in the floor. you only have to take them out from inside the car. You will need to drill new holes for the seat rails on the bucket seats. this is very easy all you have to do is unbolt the 4 nuts under the car that hold the bench in, pull it out of the car, set the bucket seat in the 2 holes on each side, find where the other 2 hole go, mark them, drill for size(make sure the brake cable, fuel and break lines are not in the way, I don't think they where when I did it but its a good idea to check any ways), slide the seats into the holes and tighten the nuts, that's it. If you want to change the belts it is easier when you have the bench out. Good luck!
: As I approach the "grand gutting" I have one little q... How the HELL do ya swap out the seat belts?
: I looked in at the Comet (that has buckets) and they are bolted to the floor at what looks like a real headache of a transition...
: For those who have been there how do you accomplish this?
