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.

Two styles of replacement non-retractable lap seat belts are available

  • A lap seat belt which is similar in appearance to the original that has a chrome lift release buckle and attaches to the floor with fixed gold chromate or gold chromate sister hook anchor end. The sister hook anchors attach to a floor mounted eyebolt.
  • A modern style lap seat belt with a plastic covered pushbutton that has a metal underside and attaches directly to the floor with fixed anchor ends. All of the plastic pieces are black regardless of the webbing color.

    The lap seat belts offered for 1955-57 Thunderbirds measure 60" long when fully extended and the lap seat belts offered for the 1958-66 Thunderbird are available in extended lengths of 60" or 74". In most cases the 1958-66 Thunderbird will use the 60" long belt in the front and rear. A 74" non-retractable lap seat belt is also listed as an option. The seat belts listed have webbing that is color matched to the carpet or an upholstery color to offer more color selections than were originally available.

    The pushbutton lap seat belts with **in front of the item number have all the plastic pieces color matched to the webbing color.On all of the other pushbutton lap seat belt item numbers all of the plastic pieces are black regardless of the webbing color.One MH2 bolt kit is required per fixed anchor lap seat belt and one MH3 eyebolt kit is required per sister hook lap seat belt for mounting.
