    68 C3 Retractable seat belt - any alternatives that fit?

    I've researched threads talking about '68 having / not having retractable belts. My February build has the +/-8" black plastic encasements under seat and they're a mess, belts & mechanisms not there were removed. Also I don't really want to spend $250 on new "OEM" retractable seatbelts because others have said they don't work very well or for very long.

    Question: anyone know an alternative under-seat retractable belt mechanism that will work? My car is a driver, I'll opt for anything that is reliable, will fit, and is GM.

    Thank You, GK

    The retractor you will require is a negater spring. Google negater spring as there are plenty of suppliers that one can adapt for 68 belts. It will take a bit of fabrication. The $250 may sound attractive if you can't do the work yourself.
