    C-3 Shoulder Belt Option, Early 69 Convertible

    My Early 69 Convertible does not have shoulder harness seat belt guides in the seat back headrest area.
    Was this at all an option for 69 convertibles ?
    Are all 69 convertibles prepared for retrofit of shoulder belt harness ?

    Thanks, - Egil

    Shoulder belts were standard on the coupe, but an option on the convertible.

      .....and, all 1969 convertibles are NOT prepared for shoulder belt installation. It can be done, but it involves the addition of other parts.

        My original convert with shoulder straps doesn't e

        I have an original 1969 late Feb car (convert)with a red interior and original shoulder strap option which also lacks the clips for the shoulder belts on the seats. I guess when they were choosing seats, they overlooked that detail.

          Thank you all, ...I will continue to search for used or repro clips and investigate which body supports my convertible came with.
          Noted that a used pair of clips was sold for $128 !!! on eBay yesterday.
          Have purchased a nice set of 68 shoulder belts but have not found correct body mounting bolts for retractors. Any information on where to look for clips and bolts would be helpful. Thanks, - Egil

            did your car ever have the clips?

            Mine never had the clips (it still has the original seats). I'm not sure all the shoulder strap cars had the clips. If you come to the Orlando meet, you can look at my car if you want.

            See Paragon catalog p 126 for the underbody mounts for the shoulder belts.

            Try Paragon's used parts or your favorite used parts house, any coupe will have the clips for the seats.

            Good luck,
            Mark
