To add retractability to a lap seat belt the chrome original style Roll-A-Belt(Item Number 80296) and a replacement black plastic (Item Number CR1) clip on webbing retractors are available.

In the event that one of the underbody seat belt reinforcement plates are damaged or missing it is suggested that an RB1 steel underbody reinforcement plate with attached weld nut be used to add support to all of the seat belt mounting points.

To View Vintage Replacement Style Seat Belts

The 1955-57 Thunderbird original style non-retractable lap seat belts listed have an aviator style lift up release metal to metal contact buckle with a bright chrome underside and a bright chrome lid. The seat belts listed attach to the floor with the original style chrome "sister hook" type anchor ends which attach to a floor mounted eyebolt. Due to the thickness of the outer ring and the diameter of the opening the "sister hook" anchor ends on the seat belts listed may not attach to an original factory installed eyebolt. One MH3 eyebolt mounting kit is required per seat belt.

To allow for more webbing color choices than were originally offered the seat belts listed are available with webbing colors that are matched to the carpet or the primary or accent interior color.

Webbing colors tend to vary from mill run to mill run therefore a match to upholstery or carpet can not be guaranteed. If it is critical that the webbing be an exact match to an existing interior color refer to the webbing swatches in WSPK7 webbing sample pack.
