Default 3 point seat belts

I want to add some 3 point belts to the front seats of my 65. I am wondering what opinions are on these belts and if you know of another type you like better. Thanks

there R several brands of seat belts now on the market. I used a diff. type cuz I didn't like the look of the recepticle on this one. they install soooo easy it's almost criminal not to put a set in your car.

OK, 3 point safety belt 101 class is now in session. We will first start with the history of the 3 point safety belt. Did you know that it was invented over 40 years ago, and Volvo was the first car manufacturer to use it in their cars?

Smothers, it appears by your sig pic that you don't want to tear out your headliner and install the 3rd point to the roof. That is one option. The 2nd option is what Slickman did, and attach it to the A pillar. Here is another company where you can get that kit. Slickman is our innovative expert, so if you don't want to scrounge around looking for parts to complete the installation, you might consider this complete kit.

Thanks, I remember reading that. I'm really not wanting to have to fab anything, just assemble. Do those ratchet or retract or whatever, or fix in place? Either way, nice job.

Thats right, not willing to risk messing up the paint and having to mess with the headliner. I am not seeing much difference between the two different setups (except the one for sale at mustangs plus has the chrome latch option, which I like). You see much difference other then price between those two setups (the one from mustang plus vs. the one from mustangs unlimited)?
