Hey everyone,

At the moment I've got a narrow track 1985 Suzuki sierra and for anyone who is unaware the seat belts are the un-retracting style. I recall when I had a 1992 WT sierra that the seat belts where the retractable ones. By any chance can you put retractable ones into the NT or should I say 1985 Sierra’s ?

Cheers, Ni

I believe so. Unless its a tin top ute.

Not sure why you would want them though. They are a PITA offroad.

Hey man,

Well you are screwed then. I have tossed the lap sash belts and now just have a lap belt. It's great for wheeling but proberbly not so great if I hit something

I just dug around the wreckers and got a pair that just bolt straight on the outside of the pier - I can not remember which car they came from but there are quite a few like that.

This would require a mod plate.

So would the other swap he is proposing - The car came with fixed belts. Never seen a REGO check look at the type of seat belt only condition and check to see if retractable click in if you pull then sharply.
