1964–73 Mustang Coupe / Convertible / Fastback Rear Seat Installation
- Remove old seatbelts (if equipped). Clean any debris and rust out of threaded holes with a wire brush or thread chaser. It is also easier to access the mounting hole with the seat back removed.
- There are 2 different installation options for the rear seats. The Coupe Mustang can use the package tray for mounting the retractor. The original lap belt mounting holes will be used for the buckle side and the anchor on the retractor side. See illustration (1) below.
- The second option is for Convertible cars where the retractor is mounted in the trunk area behind the seat back. This is the preferred method for both cars since it offers the greatest opportunity for strength. If your vehicle has a package tray with a steel frame you should be able to find a safe mounting location. See illustration (2) below.
- After choosing your installation location you will need to inspect all areas of the vehicle on the top side and under the car for clearance and obstructions. Make sure to avoid drilling into any wiring looms, fuel lines, brake lines, etc. Make sure to use a solid mounting surface using the 2.5" galvanized washer on the underside shown in illustration 3a.
- After installing the retractor, bolt the metal anchor in the factory lap belt mounting hole if available. If not, you will need to create a mounting hole.
- You are now ready to install the buckle end using the factory mounting hole, which will complete the installation.
Note: This is an installation guide only, designed as an outline to assist you during the process of installing your new seat belts. Some installations may not be covered therefore it will be the installers responsibility to determine the safest mounting locations.
