I Bought mine from Wesco Perf. too. I got the roadster retrectable set for the rear ones. Then mounted the retractor on the underside of the package tray like some people did in the two threads listed above. I also added some steel plate for extra strength.

I'm at the point where I need to order these any day now. Was looking at these exact belts -> http://wescoperformance.stores.yahoo.net/roadster-seat-belt-chrome.html

The open question that I have though is, 24" (adjustable bench), 8" or 11" sleeve? What did you go with and how is the fit?

Thanks!

For the front seats I bought the 3 point retractable with the 8" long sash guide and the 8" sleeve for the bottom. From what I can tell this is the same kit that XV Motorsports/Engineering sells which is manufactured by a company in Florida. I feel the 8" sleeve is to short for me.  I'm debating over getting the 11" sleeve #402 or the 20" floppy end #409. Also in the back I have the 20" floppy end #414. Other than that I've been very pleased with them.

I talked with one of guys from a manufacturer of belts for many of the venders. One them is a Mopar guy and has quite a few.  He is going to put together a fitting set for me and it will also match the fronts I get.  Should know something next week
