When installing a seat belt where it was not previously installed it is suggested that an RB1-1(each) or RB1(pair) underbody reinforcement plate with attached weld nut be used to add support to all of the mounting points.Webbing colors tend to vary from mill run to mill run therefore a match to upholstery or carpet can not be guaranteed.If a color match to an existing interior is required it is suggested that a webbing sample be ordered.
The non-retractable lap seat belts available for 1955-56 Thunderbirds measure 74" and 60" long when fully extended with most installations using the 60" long non-retractable lap seat belt in the front and/or rear. The 74" long non-retractable lap seat belt is 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 offered.

The buckle style available are;
A vintage chrome lift non-retractable lap seat belts with gold chromate colored fixed direct to the floor or sister hook anchor ends that attach to floor mounted eyebolts. A modern style non-retractable pushbutton lap seat belt with a red push background and a white press with a metal underside that attaches directly to the floor with fixed anchor ends. A buckle upgrade from a red push background with a white press to a black push background with a white press. Specify or select buckle upgrade 108 when ordering.

To add retractability to a non-retractable lap seat belt a chrome original style Roll-A-Belt and a replacement plastic clip on webbing retractors are available.
