I am about to install the headliner in a 68 coupe and do not have all the hardware for the shoulder harness. Back near the coat hook there are two small holes where I assume some type of plate is bolted that will attach to the shoulder belt. Where can I get this plus the shoulder belt? I want original look not some roll up aftermarket piece.

I have called year one and National parts depot and they tell me they don't sell them. I have read most of the threads and haven't found an answer.

The original shoulder belts were held up along the tops of the doors by the use of two clips. These kept the belts from just hanging down dangling in space. I have purchased these aftermarket and have them in the correct locations. I also understand that the shoulder harness clipped into another latch that was attached to the same bolt as the lap belt buckle on the middle tunnel. All understood loud and clear. Just can't find the shoulder belt and plate. Anyone sourced these? Original as possible is the goal.

These aren't exactly original, but are very nice. Check out their seat belts (pic down the page):

Also here are some other seat belt manufacturers/repairers I have links for:

Keep in mind, I DO realize you asked about original. Sorry I can't help you there but I wanted to give you these links as alternative ideas in case you can't find what you need.

Thanks. I'll give Snake-oyl a call and see if they have any old ones. Anyone else just have the hardware? I'll get them re-webbed if I have to.

I think I have an extra set of shoulder belts, with the proper bracket. Might have the bolts, too, but have to look. I know I have the plastic covers, but need to check condition. What color do you need? I don't think I have the female part that goes on the tunnel. pm me.
