Retractable seat belts for NT sierra

Gday,
Does anyone ever hop into their sierra in a hurry and find that they need to wrench the seatbelt from underneath their own weight? I was just wondering if anyone had found a solution to this problem. When I bought my sierra, it had a retractable seatbelt from another car (which I do not know...) however it always got stuck when pulling it (due to the angle it was on ...)
Did anyone have a common type seatbelt from another make/ model car that would easily bolt into a sierra? I would like to possible get one from the wreckers.
Cheers.

you can get universal retractable seatbelts from auto shops like supercheap. i have looked into doing this myself but got sidetracked with doing an engine conversion.

The drovers at least the 1985 soft tops had non retracktable seat belts

Beware as some wreckers will not sell the seatbelts as it is a safety issue. I had one wrecker say no to getting them as it had been in a acco.
cheers

ive got 60 series cruiser, came with a angle bracket which you can eather bolt down the bottom of the wheel wheel behind the seat, or mod it to bolt throught the floor.

If your after retractable seat belts get widetrack sierra ones bolt straight in and because they where standard on w/t they look standard on n/t.

I got a one size fits all from Auto-one. They were about $90 and the brand is Klippax-----I think. I got the model from another post here but I can't find it now.

Found it. It's a Klippan K4546 with a 350mm stalk. You can go a smaller stalk if required. It's a bit of mucking around to fit but alot better than before.

These may not bolt in. I do not have the false panels in my drover for the retractables.

as nic said i think you may not be able to swap them , as you cant take the panel off next to the seat, theres no hole...
