Josh Hicks Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Looking for advice or to see what people have done to put more traditional style modern seatbelts in their trucks 1 Quote Link to comment
greenthumb Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Got mine out of a Maxima. Mounted the inertia reels with a whole lot of fuckery behind the seat, and fabbed up anchors for the shoulder harnesses in the factory location. A lot of diddling, but so satisfying 2 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 So right. My 710 now has 620 belts. The original were two belts that stopped at the buckle and two retractors? All I know is it was a pain to adjust when driving and never felt snug enough. The 620 is a single belt that loops through the buckle and becomes the shoulder belt then down to the retractor. By pulling up on the shoulder belt it also cinched the lap belt. 1 Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Just found this listing yesterday! First I've seen ANYBODY list for the 510! I have a 510 & A 521, and bet this 510 set would work well in the 521, especially with bucket seats installed, but please do your own research. It's pretty straight forward............the key is that the retractor mounts behind the seat & the belt pulls UP, to the belt loop at the top, then crosses over your chest to the latch buckle. https://www.seatbeltplanet.com/i-30499406-1968-1973-datsun-510-driver-passenger-seat-belt-kit.html?ref=search:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.seatbeltplanet.com%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D52218 1 Quote Link to comment

ttyR2 Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 Older topic, I know, but have any of you tried the 510 belt kit mentioned previously by yenpit? https://www.seatbeltplanet.com/i-30499406-1968-1973-datsun-510-driver-passenger-seat-belt-kit.html I like the fact that the center latch segments appear to have a plastic sleeve around them so they will stick out instead of flopping about or falling back through the seat.
