Auto-> Manual Seat Belt Conversion?
Has anyone done this? What's required to swap a manual seatbelt setup from a newer SVX into an older one? Please advise.
Thanks, Geoff |

Re: Auto-> Manual Seat Belt Conversion?
yes, it`s been done.
manual belts, manual belt a-b pillar trim pieces, i can`t remember what else right now. mike 621 would know for sure as he did it in his 92 claret as well as a full tan interior swap |

Re: Auto-> Manual Seat Belt Conversion?
I just did mine a few months ago. You also want to grab the two steel brackets under the passenger side trim that the "o-****" handle bolts to. Because of the track, the handle on the auto seatbelt car is slightly higher.
If you don't get those brackets, you can either cut holes in the manual trim, or modify the bracket to get it tho line up with the holes in the manual trim.

Re: Auto-> Manual Seat Belt Conversion?
Nice write up. I didn't remove the center console, My old lap belts are still in therejust retracted all the way in. I also didn't remove the carpet, just used a knife and some tin snips to cut the carpet/plastic.

Re: Auto-> Manual Seat Belt Conversion?
FYI I have a set of everything necessary to do the swap for a car with a grey interior, carpet included. Not sure how well the B-pillar cover things would ship though. They seem kinda fragile and bulky. I was going to do the swap on my '92, but it crashed and now I have a '94, so no point in keeping it around. I paid $200 I think, so offers anywhere in that range will be entertained.

Re: Auto-> Manual Seat Belt Conversion?
I've got a full 1994 to get parts out of - I should have everything necessary. Thanks for this write-up - It'll help a lot!
