Jim,
Just a suggestion, but if you mount the lap belt on the original bolt down on the inner rocker panel (versus to the retractor mounting bolt), it will fit better. And if you flip the belt over in the loop in the lap connector, the belt will not "kink" as it goes past the side of the seat-back. Then just turn the lap belt end over (and bend mounting bracket so it doesn't bend into the rocker).
Out of curiosity, how did you mount the retractor? Did you use a backing plate? Did you take pictures of how you mounted it?
Nice to see them in use. Mine are half-mounted, but I have been distracted by a certain '75 SportWagon...
