traytodd is on a distinguished road
Garage
I have the OGTS belts in my '71 GT. The '71 has the lower belt mount in the rocker panel behind the seats. The retractor prevents the seats from being fully moved to the rear. If the retractor is not nearly vertical, the belt locks and you cannot pull the belt out. This has not been a problem for me since I am short, but my son Quentin at 6' 2" has his knees in the wheel. Q's '73 has the retractor mounted below the rear window in the side panel. A much better location. When I strip the car for painting, I intend to weld in mounts to move the belts.
