Does anyone have a picture of the rear seatbelt retractors for a 71 challenger? I also need the location for the shoulder harness on the roof. I could use the measurement from the rear clip to the mounting hole. The headliner and all trim is in already.

I have my original 71 Challenger and another one. Neither one has retractable seat belts for the rear. They just lay on the seat. I can get a pic of the front shoulder belt tomorrow.

Thanks. I was told that the retractors started in 71, but there is no way they will fit, except if I put the retractors in the middle of the seat rather than the ends.

Here are some pics of the passenger side. There are two belt holding clips and one anchor point. The first clip is 8" from the windshield top edge, the second clip is 9" from the first clip, and the anchor point is 17" from the second clip. Hope this helps you out.
