A 1970 car would of come from the factory with a three point seatbelt and therefore the car must retain this safety feature. Ryan |

A lap sash belt is a 3 point. Do you just mean lap belt? why does it stop you moving the seat back? Tim |

Do you mean the retractor part of the seatbelt? As far as I know, retractable seatbelts were not standard fitment and therefore can be replaced with an original style lap/sash belt. Note: A lap/sash belt is still a three point belt. A lap belt is a two point belt as it only mounts at two points. Ryan |

Another interesting thing to consider is that you are thinking about getting a set of new seats. If you go the cobra classics, they have a hell of a lot more clearance that the originals and do not foul on the retractors. Ryan |

A static lap sash belt shouldn't take up any more room than a lap belt. Easily available from Autobarn or similar and closer to what was originally fitted. Tim |
