Head Rests
Hi,
I have a 1971 Cutlass. I put aftermarket seat belts in that are like modern lap/shoulder types. The only problem is that the shoulder part comes from an angle that goes right across the neck. I know the 1980's style GM vehicles had a plastic piece attached to the side of the head rest. While I was looking to see if something like this could me made to work I came across seat belt guides that go on the head rest posts rather than attaching to the side.
Problem is they all seem vehicle specific and nothing for a 1971 Cutlass. Does anyone know of something like that for these cars or a generic type that might work?

Since the belt mounting point is so high up in the roof rail, you need 3 point belt with the "Dog Leg" or "sash" that drops the shoulder pivot point down from the roof.
These are most commonly listed for Vans & RV's: https://www.seatbeltsplus.com/product/1413425OE-ND.html
Morris classic makes one specifically for classic cars that utilizes the factorys original 2 bolt shoulder belt mounting & bezel for a "factory-ish" look.
