    Hi Sam,
    Those seatbelts came with the Sunfire seats that I bought for the car. I'm working on brackets for the buckets now. The back seat was close enough in size to the Maverick stock back seat (a big part of the reason I chose these seats) that I was able to take the skins (with the foam attached to them) and fit them over the original frames. The top part went on like is was taylor made; the lower cushion is still a work in progress, but should do just fine with some tweaking.
    Back to the seatbelts. The nice part about this set is that they came with one piece lap and shoulder belts for the back seat too. Should be a pretty simple conversion in the back. The reels go in the trunk floor and come up thru the tray panel. I haven't decided for sure whether to put the high attachment for the front shoulder belt where the stock Maverick shoulder belt bolted in, or to use a new anchor point on the roll bar. I think the stock location may not leave me enough belt to reach the buckle comfortably. I'll post more when I get the finl install done. Thanks to everyone for the kind and encouraging words. Later; John B.
