Cool 73 TA front seat belts needed?
Hi all- sd4me here, been bout 3 months since I've visited, since I sold my 73 SD replacement motor Trans Am. Well the car sold on ebay for $47,000 to my families trust! My dad, the trustee stepped in at the last minute on the auction and the rest is history! My garage is still filled with trans am. I now have the charge of maintaining, improving and driving the snaught out of it(good thing he is not next door). Just had a few rust spots repaired and I am looking for a replacement set of female front lap belts. The plastic surround on mine have broken and the springs and metal retainers have come loose. Anyone know where to find a set of front female belts for a 73? ebay has not had any in the past few months...

Am trying to ID some '73 exploding buckle style females.

How long are your fronts from the mtg bolt to the very end of the buckle?

The hardest part to find are those front sleeves. Best of luck in your search!
Oh, I think 14" is correct but its been years so not 100% on that either?

Rest, or LIVE in Peace... They never made them in any color but Black in a FB

( I know I went out on a limb here but evidence suggests that they were all one style, and all black)
example; one of my 73's had deluxe Burgundy interior.. and Black seatbelts

Odd, I have seen the oxblood on a Parisienne in 73, and I think a Catalina had some that were not black. I wonder why my 73 had black ones with burgundy interior?
gotta look at some dealer sales info now...

Default 73 belts
I had a 73 esprit and the belts and receivers were absolutely maroon. Cheap pos plastic crumbled in 1989 or so.

Regards
