This post is related to the other one I just posted, but I thought it was deserving of it's own. As we all know, the Brat jump-seat belt parts can get pretty ratty, being exposed to the elements for the past 15+ years. Has anyone determined if the belt/retractor mechanism from another donor is the same/similar? What about any of the other seat belt parts?

Some of the 70's cars have very similar belt housings.And the reciever ends are even more similar,almost the same part it seems.

 

Good luck,let us know what happens if you try some on your Brat.

Well, the car I can take stuff off for nothing is a '86 wagon. I took a quick look at the rear belt retractors, and the mechanism looked very similar, but not sure about the mounting brackets. Considering the only investment will be my time, I guess I'll just have to take them off and find out.
