WTB: seat belts

[FINOCJ]

Looking for a pair of 2- point (lap belt only) seat belts. Can be retractable or not...thinking someone who has removed their rear seat like in a jeep YJ or XJ. Probably has to be a bit older to have only the lap belt. Thanks!

Would new do?

Yes...that is the fallback option. Just trying to save a few bucks....or $40.

Talk me into making my jeep a permanent (or mostly) two-seater.

I'm holding onto my rear seat and seat belts if I wished to remove the back trunk and convert back to 4-seats.

Non-retractable. All hardware needed. Grey colored.

Sway me.

I am not a very good litigator...so I usually just go with cash bribe! They would be going into the Willys Wagon which have fold and tumble front seats that are not latched down (going to have to work on that as well). They will keep the seats from pitching forward....oh, and they will hopefully keep the person in the seat from pitching forward into the glass....that old 2-piece windshield isn't cheap and wouldn't want someone's head to break it.

You say all hardware is needed...I can't remember on a YJ, do the seat belts attach to the seat frame or were they mounted to the body/tub/floor? I don't have any interest in the seat, although if you want to pass it along as part of a package, I would probably turn around and sell it after removing the belts (but getting it to me would be a bit more difficult than just mailing the belts). If belts are in good shape - send me a pic of both ends if possible - I could send you $20 for the belts shipped to my door? I figure used belts at about 1/2 the price of new is what I am comfortable with. If you are looking to make a bit more money out of it, you could then sell the seat. The old cj5/7 seat I posted a month or so ago sold in 24hrs on CL (probably because I only wanted $10 for it - should have asked $20).

cheers...

Logic says - the times / miles I've had more than two in the jeep is so dang low - and unlikely to change - that it'd be best to move the parts on (I can do the seat independent).

I'll get pix before long - poss Tues aft. The belts fasten to the floorboard and not to the seat frame. As the rear YJ seat is 4" from the floor / mounting of the seat, the length of the belts might be an issue. How high is your seat off of the floorboard (8-14")??

[FINOCJ]

Didn't think about the low seat height...Will have to check....but guessing the seat is 6-8" up? Getting total length of belts will help to know. Thanks....

[Jim]

I'm missing one shoulder bolt [edit - scratch that - there are only three bolts - the center bolt fastens both belts]. One belt release is missing the "Press" label - but it works.

Measurements are to the ends of the webbing.

[FINOCJ]

Thanks Jim...Lemme go take some measurements....I am also trying to determine if/when I might replace the existing seats etc. How interested in actually selling these are you? In other words, no pressure if you would prefer to keep your backseat set-up.

[Jim]

You're not committed to taking these - your call. I don't wish to keep'm. I doubt the back seat would be installed. I'm planning to sell off the seat (with flip hinge mounts) too.

You're helping me get into the mindset of clearing things out - a good thing.

[FINOCJ]

Hey Jim...I will take the seat belts...its going to take a little 'finagling' to mount them to the existing seat frames, but that is better than mounting through the floor board at this time. In the long (maybe really long) run, I would like to replace the seats with more modern high back buckets and shoulder belts, but this will be a good solution for now, and sometimes now turns into the foreseeable future.

[Jim]

ship'm?
set'm out for pickup?
FR4x4 shuttle?
Clean-up run?

[FINOCJ]

Realistically, I probably am not making it up to Ft Co anytime soon...probably easiest if they get shipped via USPS (or whatever shipping is easiest for you)? I am still willing to do $20 shipped to my address...Passing them along at the clean-up run (or possibly sooner if there is earlier run we can meet up on) might work. Feel free to discuss money and details via PM if that is preferable...thanks!
