I bought a set of reconditioned deluxe seat belts, which are very nice; but I have a concern with the base for the retractors. It is unlike any of the bases I have. All my bases are for the regular, non deluxe belts. Can someone tell me if these bases are correct for deluxe seatbelts on a 70 442

Here is the example that I have, which is a non-deluxe belt retractor and bracket. The rewebbed belts are longer, bit that is ok, I am not as small as I once was😁


Has anyone seen this style bracket on a particular GM body or earlier models.

Looks just like the brackets on my delux seat belt retractors -----

Are you saying the refurbished one or the old one? If the refurbished one, is it an Irwin?

Not sure of the name, but mine look just like your refurbished one and they are the delux belts. Will try and take a look for the name tomorrow

Appreciate it! The name should be on the tag if it is still intact. My old ones are Hamill belts you can see it on the new and refurbished ones above the model number.
