Hey dan, I got them a couple of weeks ago, they are E body guides I bought off of ebay, not sure of what year

Thanks for the link, he does not seam to have anymore for sale, I checked his other listings as well
no luck, I think somebody out there must have them as well I will keep up the search.

I just got the belts in the mail yesterday, I have only seen two sets, this being the second set.
When I get them cleaned up maybe I will post a pick, but I don't want to high jack your thread.
Thanks again

Dan

no hijacking, that's totally ON topic.  I would love to see original 2nd gen 3 point belts, post up when you get 'er done.

I thought since there is so much great info in this thread, I would resurrect it instead of starting a new thread. I found this thread when I was looking for info to install shoulder belts in my '69 for my 5 year old's booster seat.
Has anyone done this recently? Do you have any updated info or newer products that you used?
DKN,
Now that you have lived with this setup for a while, what would you change or improve? Would you still go with a 12" female end belt instead of the 20" you used?
Thanks,
John

My daughter was strapped into it when an 80 year old man forgot all the lessons we learned in Van Dam's Timecop and tried to get his hyundai to occupy the same space at the same time as my fender/hood/grill...

But we both walked away without a scratch so the belts work.  I would definitely get the shorter 12" female.  It worked out for me at the time because she was in a booster and the extra length made it ok.

Thanks for the response. I am hoping to order the belts this week.
Sorry to see you had a wreck. It is good to hear no one was hurt and the belts worked.
I am putting the belts in for my 5 year old who is in a booster seat. Do you think I should stick with the longer female end or do you think the 12" female would work with a booster seat?
Thanks,
John
