| If you have
an older chevy truck that has no shoulder harness belts like this one
or if it did and they no longer work or your doing over your interior
and need new belts. Whatever your reason our three point shoulder
harness belts are a very good choice. Today were gonna show you just
how easy it is to install these belts. |
|
Pictured here is the complete
three point shoulder harness setup for two people. Also shown here is
the hardware that comes with it. Unlike our other belts the hardware is
included with the three point belts. However you can purchase with out
hardware if need be.
|
 |
 |
The first thing were going to do
is take the plastic trim pieces off in the area of the shoulder mount.
On these chevy pick ups three point belts were an option so there will
be a mounting location behind there somewhere.
|
| Here it is, The stock shoulder
harness mounting point hiding behind the trim. |
 |
 |
Next we'lll unbolt the old belt.
Starting with a ratchet to make sure we didnt break the bolt. If they
are really tight you may have to work them in and out turning them out
a little more each time until it's loose.
|
|
Now we must drill a hole in the
trim piece so we can mount our belts. Heres Bob getting ready to do
just that.
|
 |
 |
On the back side there is a hole
molded into the trim piece were the hole must be drilled. We used a
multi hole bit.
|
|
Here we show you one trim piece
with the hole drilled for the shoulder mounting point and one that has
not yet been drilled
|
|
 |
Now it is time to unbolt the old
belts buckle ends and install ours. the seat in this truck is not stock
and because the whole backrest does not flip foward we have to remove
the seat. Normally you would not have to do so as seen in the 84 Chevy
truck install. No problem though four bolts and and a couple minutes
later we were able to get at the buckle portion of the belts.
|
Now that the seat is out of the way we can really get at
those belts. And can easily be unbolted.
|
 |
 |
Unbolt the old belts remembering to be careful not to
snap bolts. If they are really tight you may have to work them in and
out turning them out a little more each time until it is loose.
|
|
After you drill the hole and make sure it is big enough, you can
reinstall the trim piece and bolt the shoulder point of the belt in
place.
|
|
|
After you bolt it in place the
belt has a trim piece of its own that covers the bolt. Snap that in
place and that portion of the belts installation is complete.
|
|
|
|
Now to mount the retractor portion of the belts. This
point also is getting mounted to the stock location. First though we
must bolt the L bracket in place to give our retractor somewhere to get
mounted.
|
|
With the L bracket in place and bolted tightly to the
floor and the bracket that is attached to the webing in place we can
bolt it all together. Just make sure that the belt is not twisted at
this point before you really tighten the nut and bolt.
|
|
|
|
The other side of the webbing has this bracket attached
to it. Make sure that you bolt that bracket between the L bracket and
the retractor.
|
|
And bolt the new belts in. Remember
it is important that you never use our retractor portion of the belt
with another buckle. Even if it looks like it will work it may not hold
in the event of an accident. These belts are not designed to
interchange with any other belts and must be used together.
|
 |
|
|
Now that the buckle portion of the
belts are installed you can put the seat back in. Now it is time to do
the other side.
|
|
After you repeat the process on
the other side you are all done. It took us an hour to install these
belts today. We have a lot of experience installing these belts yes but
with the all the mounting points there and ready to bolt up, to it
makes the job very easy.
