'69 GTO convertible. Where do these go?
I'm ready to start installing my new interior in the car but cannot remember where these parts go. Anybody got a photo that shows where they go?

Thanks guys. No shoulder harnesses in a convertible so not that. I've also looked at lots of interior photos doing google searches but haven't seen any that show these. I've also checked both the Illustrated Parts catalog and the Assembly Manual and haven't found them in there either. They have 2 screws each that mount them. I kind of remember removing them but not where I removed them from.

Hold everything...
I just went back through my old photos again and found it! But now I need to know whether this was added by a previous owner or whether they are factory correct. All '69 GTO convertible photos I could find don't show these parts in that location.

Shoulder harnesses actually were an option, rare no doubt!
They mounted on the top main hinge inside the armrest. |

ha! those look like neither of the 68 ones, though I do vaguely remember noting them on a car before.

It doesn't appear my car had any seat belt options at all. Maybe a belt was added by the dealer or a previous owner. The entire interior was disassembled and out of the car when I bought it.

Doing more research.
When I bought my car, all the seat belts were in a box. They were not the custom belts, just the standard plastic ones. There were shoulder belt straps included in the set.. I didn't know why and just put them aside and installed all the others. It appears that there were 2 ways to order shoulder straps in a '69 convertible. Code 434 which was custom belts with both front and rear shoulder belts. And code 438 which added standard shoulder straps for the fronts only. Since my PHS option list doesn't have code 438 on it, it appears the dealer or a previous owner must have added shoulder straps like the 438 option would have provided. So, I guess I'm not going to mount those buckle holders.
