73 Charger Rallye, 440, 4 speed, bucket seats.

My car did not come with seat belts installed. I've been looking at some internet photos to see how they are installed. I can only locate 3 mounting positions per side on the floor. There's one on the center hump, one in front of the rear wheel well, and one on the back of the floor.

The one on the hump is where the front female belts attach. And the one on the floor holds one of the rear belts. Does the other rear belt and the retractable front male belt both attach to the hole in front of the rear wheel well? It looks like it should only take the other rear belt. But I don't see another place where the front retractable could bolt. And if it does bolt back there, how in the world is the driver supposed to reach around to pull it out?

I know I must be missing something here. Can anyone clear things up? Thanks.
 
Thanks. I already have the service manuals. The diagram for Carline W doesn't show where the front retractable portion gets attached. It does show that only the rear outer is attached to the wheel well, so that clears up part of it for me. I knew the front belt couldn't be attached way back there.
 
The front retractable goes to the back of the B-Pillar ( lower rear door area) of the door opening. Pics of "Y" and "Z".

Thanks for the info. But I think a Charger shown as carline W in the manual. That should be fig. 14. The diagram you posted is for a Polara/Monaco. BTW, I see you are in Whetstone. We're practically neighbors. I live in Elgin.

If anyone with a 73 Charger could note where the front retractable belt is attached that would be very helpful. Thanks.
 
Curt, I built your motor... :thumbsup:

They are in the same place, bottom corner of the door opening.

D'oh! Small world. I'll be starting that motor up very soon. Just need to finish the interior.

OK, back to the seat belts. There is only 1 mounting spot for seatbelts on the outboard side of the seats. It is in front of the rear wheel well, directly below the back edge of the quarter window. It looks like the rear outboard belt should attach there. Are you saying the front attaches there also?
