Re: Seat belt source

Hi Dana:

Hurtienne's catalog shows Alfa-OEM 3-point belts.  They have them for both 
coupes and Spiders.

Start 
at 
https://diamant.safe-order.de/alfahurtienne/htdocs/english/katalog_start.htm

Scroll down to the 'Parts' section, then select 'Safety Belt Set'.  I've 
got a set of OEM 3-point belts from an '86 Spider in my '74.  The main 
difficulty was finding a location in the rear to mount the retractor 
reels.  The rear deck metal on the early Spiders is almost paper-thin, so I 
mounted the reels to the inside of the wheel wells, using grade-9 bolts and 
large washers, where the metal is heavier and two layers thick.  I also 
have a set of '87 Quad seats, which have the shoulder belt guides, but I'm 
told the belt guides can be fitted to older seats, too.  Of course, if 
you're doing the job in a coupe, it's much simpler, or so I've also been 
told.

Regards,
