C-3 (1970) Shoulder Belt Guide

[John S.]

I know this question probably has been asked a 100 times but I can't seem to locate it in the search. I've seen the plastic shoulder belt guides in front of the slot in the seat, in the back, and inside...which is correct? I guess the plastic part that fits over the belt is designed to keep the end of the belt from slipping through the slot in the seat. Thanks

In front of the holes in the seat bezels to keep the shoulder harness ends visible and easily accessible.

Thanks...I also found the answer and diagram on page K-119 in the 70 assembly manual. I had looked before but could not find it.

Be sure you install them correctly. I have judged many that were installed backwards. Since you have the AIM, that should be easy. Also they go on much more easily if warmed with hot water, the sun, or a hair dryer.

Thanks for the info. I did heat them up and was able to get them on correctly. Can't believe I've had this car 10 years and they were wrong the entire time...even had it judged at NCRS Waco and no one said a thing...Thanks again.

Reba is quite right.....they can be almost impossible to slip on (or off) without making them most pliant. She said hair dryer, not a heat gun.

Did I judge it in Waco, Jim?
