    1965 seat belts

    Purchased 1965 (late year) seat belts from Sunwest Auto and didn't get the installation instructions. Need help putting the retrator, belt and plastic boot together. Can't seem to find anything in the archives. Thanks in advance, cvdriver@comcast.net Carl

    Carl: You pull the metal tongue (not the triangular anchor plate) through the boot after heating it up in hot (but not boiling) water to make it pliable. I use a plastic tie strap attached to the tongue to grab onto. Feed it into the bottom of the boot, grab it where it exits the top, and pull it through.

    The retractors are clipped to the webbing about 6.5 inches away from the tongue. I give it 5 rotations to preload the spring. When retracted, the tongue should protrude enough to grab easily.

    Again don't overcook the boots.
