Did the 1970 mavericks come with lap belts or any type of seatbelt? I recently purchased mine and oddly enough didn't have them. I've not gotten a chance to look to see if they were taken out, or if they just never came with it.
ahh okay. So I should for sure at least have the bolt holes where the should be, so If I have too, I can just buy new belts and install them.
Yup on a 76 there should be a place where the retractable belt assembly attached to the inside of the rocker area. A bolt hole on the side of the transmission tunnel towards the bottom and a spot for the seat belt drop down on the inside roof structure somewhere in the vicinity of the b pillar.
What would be involved in putting retractable in a 70? It has the bolt uptop for the stand alone shoulder, and a bolt down below for the lap. Not sure if you could buy a retractable and put it in.
Roger, I am converting mine to 3 point retractables. Reusing the upper mount for the original shoulder belt for this belt drop that I pulled out of a passenger van seems to get the geometry right. Details are in my build thread .... http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=55560&page=6
