3 point retractable seat belts for a 69?

I am looking to upgrade the seat belts in my 69 project as I plan on driving it frequently.  I've seen the XV Motorsports set talked about in here and that a little work is needed to get them to work with a console.  I am really trying to keep the look as vintage as possible and would really like a chrome push button buckle (I get thats more GM style but at least its somewhat period correct).  Black plastic and red button just look a bit to modern but if I have to go that route I will.

Any suggestions?

Hi I changed mine over i used all the original bolt holes. I had to drill two holes in the rear parcel shelf and put in a reinforcement plate to make it stronger i hope this helps follow the link.

I bought a set of the XV belts for my '69 a while back but since it's not going to see the road for some time yet, I installed them in my '71 and they worked just fine there too. Beats the Hell out of the original belts as far as function goes. Allot more comfortable too. I don't mind the logo in the buckle either as these are safer than the originals as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure you'll like them if you get them.
