72monte350 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I remember a while ago someone had posted about replacement 3 point seat-belts he had placed in his monte. He had a very very nice black monte carlo, I will see if I can find out who it is to ask him, but until then, does anyone know where I can purchase replacements for a bench seat 1972? Thanks! Quote
stangeba Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Here is a link to an old discussion about three point seat belts. three point belt topic Here are some pictures of when I did my conversion. Pictures of Morris three point belts Bruce Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 just installed them in my '71, great people, great product Quote
Arvizu9618 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I'm considering these belts 3 points Certainly are cheaper at $48 PER SIDE Anybody else here have these? Art Quote
Andreas Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I'm considering these belts 3 points Certainly are cheaper at $48 PER SIDE Anybody else here have these? Art They will probably work but you would have to manufacture your own brackets for the floor and the B-pillar.... the Morris Belts are a direct bolt-in and install in less than 30 minutes... Quote
Philthy1969 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Agree with Andreas....I tried to install a set much like those in my Chevelle and ended up selling them. Way to much fabrication. Save your nickels and get the direct fit ones. Quote
rick graffrath Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 seat belts aren't always a point to save money on,installed morris belts and love them Quote
Arvizu9618 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 you all are right, I bit the bullet and bought and installed the morris belts Quote
BlueRidgeMike Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I just ordered a set of Morris 3-point seatbelts today for my bench seat 72. Quote
7tonemonte Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I love the set in my car, feel much safer and with these I at least wear them!! Quote
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I currently have factory seat & shoulder harness belts in my bucket seat Monte. Kind of looked over the Morris products and did not see any examples for a bucket seat car. Is this application available and has anyone purchased and installed these in a bucket seat Monte that were direct fit? The factory shoulder harnesses are a pain and frankly don't look as they really provide much in the way of safety and am considering making this change if they supply for my application. The belt buckles look very similar to my factory buckles and would appear to blend in with my rear seat buckles. Comments please................. Doug Quote
71MonteCarloMD Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Doug, I have Morris 3 point belt installed for bucket seats which fits very well. Only difference, beside one buckle to snap in, I could think of is the shoulder harness is not hidden when stored like original when not used as it will always be shown. Rick Quote
Leghome Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 The only draw back I can find for the Morris three point belts it makes geting in and out of the back seat a little harder specially for this 687 yr old. Quote
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Yeah Larry, that could be a problem getting in and out the back seat. I think I could live with that, I think! Reasons fore me getting back there would be cleaning / working and I guess could simply remove retractor from floor when doing so, if necessary. I am leaning toward them and just wanted to confirm no surprises, mods necessary during install. Thanx guys, Doug Quote
Leghome Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 My wife complains every time she gets into the back seat for cleaning. I can not get in and out of the back seat any more. Quote
7tonemonte Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 My kids have a slight issue getting in and out but if you pull one side of the belt forward then slowly pull them both together it isn't an issue I've also saw where people modify the headrests with a hook like newer montes and hang the belts on that The safety far outweighs any inconvenience imo Quote
Leghome Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Safety is the first and most important thing for sure Quote
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I think I could deal with getting in the back seat as a trade off for the safety aspect. I wont use the factory shoulder harnesses as they are a pain and offer little additional safety. Every time I buckle up, I feel bare not having that shoulder harness. If I need to spend any time in the back seat compartment, I can simply remove lower assembly until I'm done (I think). I think I will see about getting this kit. Doug Quote
Bluemalibu Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 What size bolts secure the upper anchor point? (The PO removed the shoulder strap from the '72.) Quote
7tonemonte Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Not sure off hand but new bolts are included with the belts Quote
Leghome Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 And they bolt up to where the original shoulder belts did. I had no idea where they went but when I had my headliner re stretched they also installed my 3 point belts so I did not have to do that. YEAH!!!! Quote
Bluemalibu Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 You got a 'two-fer' Larry! ...And thanks Tony. Quote
footballubet Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 As others have stated getting into the back seat is the issue. But the belt will move at the top which makes it easier to get it the back. I feel so much safer with these belts installed. Quote
Arvizu9618 Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Not sure off hand but new bolts are included with the belts Yes, new allen type bolts are included Quote
