Seat Belt Length
 

I know this was covered here previously.....and I actually did write down the details......but you know how that one goes....

Tried a couple of searches....but it didn't come up...

I'm sorting my seatbelts...and have found 3 or more different lengths of female and male end belts..and some of them may have been robbed from A and B bodys...but need to know correct lengths for 70-73 F-cars.....Thanks

What year?

Have 1970, 1971, & late 72 production standard F-body belts I can check.

Looking for an Irvin drivers side front retractor assembly for a late model 72 F-body.
(Don't care what color the thin flexible plastic molded cover is as long as the cover is not torn)

71 / early 72 should be the same....

Not many of the later style seen around here...

FYI:

the only difference between 1970 & 1971/early-1972 are the drivers side "male" parts;
1970 it was a retracting belt, while the other was a fixed length in a plastic sleeve.

I believe that the following belts all have unique lengths:

• 70-72* front "female" belts (same length for shoulder and lap belts)
• 70-72* front "male" shoulder belts
• 70-72* rear "female" belts
• 70-72* rear "male" belts

Now I have never seen them in person, but I have understood that the optional rear shoulder belts may have been the same as the front shoulder belts - I do not know if the "female" end of rear shoulder belt was the same as the front or rear "female" belt.

As I recall.....the front female/buckle ends are different lengths...

Measured a '71/early '72 front seat male lap belt.
From the very bottom of the plastic "stalk" to the very top of the plated male end: 20 1/4"

On the female belts laying against the passenger bucket seat, one is indeed 4-5" longer than the other. Will investigate further in the AM, am going to have to get up in the mezzanine & pull out some boxed sets.

GH, Here is a picture of the original upper shoulder belt in my '70 Formula, so you can measure from the mounting point to the bottom of the rear seat cushion for overall length.
