Re: [AMC-list] AMX no shoulder harness

I think Frank Swygert has recommended these folks before:

I haven't used anything but AMC belts in my old AMCs but I agree that the early 
type shoulder belts can be frustrating.

Speaking of shoulder belts, have any of you replaced those lame factory belts on 
your AMX or Javelin with a set of self-retracting three-point belts from a later 
model AMC (or other car)?

My 68 AMX (for sale, BTW -- see 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130515988000 ) has 
only **aftermarket** lap belts and they're tremendoudly cheesy-looking.  The car 
does have the early style holes near the 1/4 window.

I'm looking for something that is more functional than the primitive design of 
the factory belts but that won't look glaringly out of place on the car (thus 
the preference for later model AMC).

I've gotten used to the smooth and obstacle-free operation and relatively firm 
retract of modern belts.  It's ridiculous to need two hands to buckle up.

Any recommendations?
