Re: [Chevelle-List] Seat belts
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I have a friend who had a 69 Camaro that was missing the seat belts. He didn't care about originality so he went to a junk yard that deals in Insurance wrecks. For 50 bucks he not only got new seat belts but was able to find a set that included the shoulder harness and adapted them to his car. Looked original. Front and back. In Mich. the one he went to was D R. Huge place. You can buy engines, Tran's, interior parts, etc.. Anything not damaged. These places service the repair shops. Selling parts to repair your newer model wreck. I once bought a front clip for a Buick to replace the one my son wrecked.

I have the retractable lap belt and shoulder belt but no female seat belt ends...dont know where they went the previous owner must of not liked them. But anyway come to find out there is no way to just get the female seat belt ends so there goes a bundle of money just to buy a seat belt that i will eventually replace with a 5 pt harness once i get a roll cage installed. Even the plastic seat belts from Auto Zone are 18 for one. Welcome to the seat belt world...if you have not already guessed i am a tight wod.

Can anyone tell me where these bolt holes are located? Anyone know of a picture of what the correct buckle for my car looks like? Is the lap buckle the same as the shoulder harness buckle? Been to a few web sites and you sure can spend a bundle on these belts!

[Chevelle-List] Front Springs Question ?
Just removed the upper and lower control arms today. I was told to pick up a rubber cap that goes over the front springs, (not between) thats about a 1/2 inch or so,thick that would help raise the front end. Can anyone tell what this part may be called. Not sure what to ask for at the auto store.Then I need to clean up the parts and replace the ball joints.Thanks Craig
[Chevelle-List] Four Speed to Automatic
Can someone out there please tell me everything I would need to convert by 69 Chevelle from a four speed to an automatic? The car was originally an automatic, so I think there are still some of the linkages under the hood (???). I was thinking about a Turbo400...any thoughts. Anyway, I just wanted to know what I needed to do the swap. Does anyone make a kit for this swap? Thanks, Lojac
Re: [Chevelle-List] Four Speed to Automatic
column shift or floor shift? if its a column shift, then u need the linkage from the column to the tranny if its a floor shift then you will need a shifter, cable, range select lever, the column to tranny linkage for safety reasons, console assembly, console wiring, console mounts. If you already have a console then forget about all the console stuff, you will just need a new auto top plate. Hope this helps! Tom
