swaping 2dr to 4dr front seat belts

Should be good to go.

A few notes
I was changing out 85 belts to an 81.
The buckles are a different shape. May because one is colored and the other is brushed. Or could be a year thing. ???
The shaft has a flat on the 81 the 85 did not. So the shaft and gear has to go together.
The 85 gear has a plastic thrust gear - the 81 did not.

I have some good belts from my 2 door 86 cutlass

Very cool Tom! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us! Glad you could make the belts work for you.

Thanks for sharing that information with us. Other than replacing units, I've never taken the retractors apart. Nice write up.
