Re: WTB: Blue 71' Seat Belt Thingy

Hey Guradrail, I just did this to my black ones. You probably already know, but I didnt so here goes. Be VERY carefull when you take the old belt out and go to replace this unit. In order to get the belt threaded you have to take it clear off of the spring loaded piece at the base of the plastic. To rethread was a pain and even when I thought I had it right and in place, it wasnt. It has not retracted correctly since and doesnt at all now. I re-did it so many times the plastic housing cracked and now I just flip my fully extended male belt into the seat behind me when I get out.

IMO, buy one that comes with the belt threaded and working, thats what I am going to have to do now...
