"Lift Up Buckle Non-Retractable Seat Belts"
Okay it looks like these look reasonable to be used in the '3 while not
looking out of place. The next question is how long? They have either 60"
or 72"? Form there webpage they say the following:
.As a general rule, when installing lap belts only, the front positions will
use a 72"
.long belt and the rear will use a 60" long seat belt. An exception to this
would be
.if the vehicle is a two seater or has low to the floor seats, where the 60"
long seat
.belt may be more applicable for both the front and rear mounting positions
Has anyone have experience with belt lengths? From this statement 60" would
be fine.
And to order the following:
.Lap Belt Underbody Reinforcement Plate w/Attached Weld Nut,Sold Pair.Use To
Add Support
.To Mounting Points When Seat Belts Were Not Originaly Installed Or Plate
Has Become Damaged Or Is Missing.
also,
.Bolt Kit For Mounting Non-Retractable Lap Belt,Gold Chromate Color. One
Required Per Belt
Does this sound right?????

So ordered :-) She wants a great looking '3 so sometimes it is death in
the details.
