Did the included hardware bolt fits in the rear wheel well or did you have to get new bolts? If so, what size bolts?RBMann wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2016 2:58 pm Installed Wesco Roadster belts w/retractors and 11" bucket ends, in a '69/1600.

Having two drivers with 10" of height difference made the stock belts a real pain. Mounted the retractor on the rear wheel well like Garth's photo above. So nice to just get in, pull and clip.

I bought and used their optional bolt kit. I don't remember if I had to buy anything else.

Re: Converting to moden seat belts...
I installed mine and it looks and works great. I bought the "mounting hardware kit". It is not really necessary, but I didn't want to go through the trouble of returning it and look for bolts myself. I just used the included 7/16 bolts included in the kit.
I just cut a hole in the vinyl. Had I planned better, I would have put in a grommet before installed the vinyl over the wheel well.

Re: Converting to moden seat belts...
I need to send my Braum pass throughs back. They are too wide by quite a bit. To bad because the shape was better for the look I was going for...
I was hoping to have two separate pass throughs but I may be looking at just one per seat. Unless anyone has seen other options other then the rectangle ones in the photo I posted earlier? I think they are little to large as well.
