Group buy for Morris 3 point belts

[my1st monte]

Ordered mine this morning, they are real nice people to talk to.

[SPLATT71MC]

Got mine today. They look really nice coupled with the fact I won't eat dash or steering wheel in the event of a collision.

I got mine and have installed the front belts. The rear retractable are going to be a little more involved. Have to take out back seat and package tray to mount bracket for retractable belts. I cleaned out the trunk, removed rear speakers and will get rear seats out next. Not an easy task breaking it loose from the floor. The bottom that is.

[Big Jim]

I got free shipping on my order.

Got mine yesterday. Wow, do they look nice! I also ordered their dual mirrors. They look sweet! Just hope they fit as nice as they look. He was looking for some feedback on the fit of our Montes. I figured I'll try them and let everyone know how they fit. Also found 2 nice t-shirts in my package.

 

Great people to talk to and deal with.

T shirt?

I have my fronts in, hopefully I'll do the rear belts this weekend. I didn't get the 3 points but I'd love to hear feedback in how they work

[footballubet]

T shirt?

 

You gotta sweet talk to get one!

[Big Jim]

As much as we are spending we should all get a T shirt.

What he said....

I'm in. I was looking to call them next week for the Starburst with the brown, #3004 , straps.

[footballubet]

I was starting to install my seat belts and not sure if I got the wrong ones. These are for bucket seats but don't seem to fit even close. Just wondering if anybody else that got them for buckets could see if theirs look like mine or not.

 

Thanks!

Scott, I have buckets and it looks the same what I got and I was wondering the same after installing as I planned to contact Morris to see. Let me know what you find.

Those look exactly like the ones I installed in my 72 two years ago. They work great except the locking mechanism is very touchy. Pull on the belt to hard and they will lock up like they are supposed to in an accident. Slow and easy and they work great but get in the slightest hurry and they can get exasperating.

[footballubet]

How did yours mount up on the buckle end Larry? These seem to be backwards to me.

[Sam (Bones)]

now you know why you got T-shirts

 

the molded plastic part on mine (that I got years ago) didn't seem to fit well either

[stangeba]

Yep, slowly. I have to remind my wife each time.

[MC-71]

Can't you pull the belt out or the sleeve and turn it around? I think the belt is only switched to the plastic. Check it out and let us know.

[footballubet]

I tried that. The plastic is cut on an angle and when you turn it around the release button is half blocked by the sleeve. I thought about using a heat gun to reform the plastic but figured I'll call them on Monday to see what they say first.

[Leghome]

Mine do rub the console slightly but I had never noticed that before. I did not do the actual installation but had a trim shop install them when they re stretched my headliner that was all wrinkly.

[71MonteCarloMD]

Scott - here's pictures of what I have installed on both side as I installed differently to see which fit best - passenger side fits best at bolt but GM logo showing wrong way. Let me know what Morris say about this.

I talked to Billy today about this issue. This was the first he had heard about the fitment problem. He looked at this thread and especially Rick's pictures. He sent them to the manufacture and asked if that would be acceptable to them? They both agree there is a problem and are working to get this right ASAP.

 

He will be sending me a few to test fit and hopefully we will be able to come up with a proper belt. When we have an acceptable replacement, he will replace any that are defective free of charge. More info on that when the time comes. Thanks for everybody's input and patience.

[Sam (Bones)]

wonder if that they will for us that have bought ours prior

I'm sure he will. He doesn't want any unsatisfied customers out there. Happy customers are you best friend for advertising.

Mine fit a little funny too, but don't look anywhere near as bad as Ricks. I just chalked it up to more aftermarket parts that don't fit correctly, can't see anything once the seat is pushed back anyhow. Didn't bother me much due to how much safer and convenient they are.They do rub on the console some but once in place they sit at a perfect angle for me to buckle in & out of. I modified the cap/plug a little to get it to fit into the hole to cover the bolt head due to once tightened the bolt head is no longer centered in the opening. If they come up with a better design I would certainly give them a try too though, but overall I can't really complain, pretty happy with them. It almost looks like Rick has 2 lefts or 2 rights? Something isn't right there.

Could someone post a picture of how their belts look, where attached to the roof? Here is a picture of how mine look and I think they have improved them since 2010.
