New Seatbelts!

May 09, 2022, 03:19:39 pm

We ordered new seatbelts through Seatbeltplanet.com. Our old ones did not retract. Since stock belts are no longer available for our 1991 LD, ours were custom-made.  We learned that we needed to be very specific about the length of the two belts.  The retractor on the passenger side is mounted at the floor and the retractor on the driver's side is mounted at shoulder height, so the lengths of the webbing on the two belts differ.  This was an issue when we ordered because they thought we made a mistake with our measurements and they made both belts the same length, making one belt too short to use.  Also, they talked us into using a retractor that is designed for racecars and had to be mounted perfectly vertical, which would not work on the driver's side because at the shoulder height, the cab curves making the retractor lock up, so that had to be changed.  I thought the pricing was reasonable. So if you need seatbelts and you can't get them from Ford, Seatbeltplanet.com is a source to check out.

are these attached to the seat or floor? I wonder how they play with the swivel chair. my passenger one is attached to the floor, and that plastic has broken due to swiveling over it
