Ford's Pinto has picked up a loyal following among people who enjoy small, simple classics, and many surviving cars still wear their tired original rear belts. Seatbelt Planet's Pinto set swaps both back window-seat belts for fixed lap straps with solid metal button-release buckles, bolts in the bag, so rear riders are covered again.
Fitment Notes
Seatbelt Planet lists the kit for the rear driver and passenger seats of 1969-1973 Ford Pinto models.
Available Colors
The Pinto strap palette counts 52 colors, 13 premium. Early Pinto interiors used black, tan, blue, green and red among others.
Why New Belts Matter
A small car with a cramped back seat still needs working belts. New lap straps give rear riders a dependable restraint and make the car more practical to share.
Keeping Them Like New
Use a soft brush and soapy water to lift grime from the webbing, rinse lightly and let it dry before buckling.
About the Ford Pinto
Ford launched the Pinto as its subcompact answer to imports, offering a two-door sedan, a Runabout hatchback and later a wagon. Its light weight and simple mechanicals make it an easy car to maintain today.
Pre-Install Checklist
Remove the rear seat cushion, find both outboard anchor holes, and clean the threads of rust and old sealant.
Good to Know
Mounting hardware comes with the kit.
Both belts are cut from the same webbing roll so they match exactly.
Pinto owners who autocross or cruise often want the whole car refreshed, belts included.
Fixed lap belts are a clean, simple solution for a small rear bench.
Order front belts in the same shade to complete the interior.
A tidy rear seat helps a small Ford look cared for at a show.
Pinto rear seats are close-coupled, which means the belts sit tight to the cushion and the wheel wells. Fixed lap belts work well in that tight space because there is no reel to package behind the trim.
If the car has been re-upholstered over the years, feel through the seat fabric for the original belt slots before cutting anything, since trim shops sometimes covered them up.
Seatbelt Planet makes these belts to FMVSS 209 and 302, the federal benchmarks for belt strength and interior flammability.
A small Ford with a tidy, fully belted back seat is easier to share with friends on a weekend drive or a trip to a cars-and-coffee meet.
Both belts are cut from the same roll of webbing after you order, so the color is consistent from one side of the bench to the other.
Rear Pinto riders will thank you for it.
