1200 Coupe Seat Belts

Noticed my clips are getting wore. Some spares would rock after lady cashmere is sorted.

Just went and checked mine in my 72 KB110. I have owned this car since it was just six months old so I'm assuming everything is as it left the NZ importer.
It has black woven seat belts with a kind of weird U shaped clip that hang from the B pillar. They engage with stalks on the transmission tunnel. Not the kind of push and click modern types.
Mine does have rear seat belts too, but years ago I shoved them under the rear seat squab and couldn't be hassled with taking it out and examining the mounting points and belt fabric.

That's different to my 72. Sounds like the same up top but different on the tunnel. Mines fabric. Brought mine off a old guy down south who rebuilt mine years ago! He had it for 23 years. He only sold to me as he knows I won't drop a CA or SR in it.

Maybe I need to check better where the bottom belt connects (just guessed).
Thank Christ there are some sane people on this planet that realise that a Datsun 1200 without an A series engine is just a bittzer. (Like the guys who take a side valve 30's Ford and re-engine it with a OHC engine and auto tranny). Just a box of Ford bits.
The guy you bought it off is a wise man. Make him proud!!!
