Re: Shoulder Seat Belt "Plugs"
I haven't seen them in any of my catalogs, IIRC someone asked this before and it was decided that no companies actually re-produced them, not totally sure on that maybe someone else will chime in (I could just be remembering things that never even happened , who knows ).

Re: Shoulder Seat Belt "Plugs"
Could probably go pick up a set of shoulder belts in a junk yard for less than you paid LMC for those plugs. I paid 20 bucks including fabbing a bracket for the retractor and now have shoulder belts. Just my

Re: Shoulder Seat Belt "Plugs"
Thanks Caseys71 and mkpj1. I know I could find something out there to work, just wondered if there was a manufacturer that made a copy from the original mold. There is a part number on the rubber plugs. I guess I should try researching that number and maybe get lucky finding some NOS! That'd be cool.

Re: Shoulder Seat Belt "Plugs"
Thanks, Keith.
I have a friend with a lot of NOS parts, and he had some body plugs a few days ago.
I'll check this one out.
Do you know the number for the large, oval-shaped one that's in the middle of the firewall, near the top???

Re: Shoulder Seat Belt "Plugs"
The best plug you can get for those is getting a set of 3 point belts. They fill that area up nicely and keep your face on your head when you crash your bump

I understand your point 1971ford, but then it wouldn't be historically correct.
