Seatbelt Planet's front lap belt for the AMC Hornet is a simple, fixed two-point strap with a steel push-style buckle. The listing names the front center seating position, making it a good fit for Hornets with a bench seat that need a middle belt.
Fitment
Listed by Seatbelt Planet as a 1969-1977 AMC Hornet front lap belt for the front center position. The Hornet itself was sold from 1970, so it applies to 1970-1977 cars.
Webbing Colors
Choose from 52 webbing colors, 13 premium.
Why Replace?
Front center belts are often missing in old cars, and a fresh strap lets a third passenger ride with a proper restraint.
Belt Care
Keep both halves on the cushion when unused and clean them with mild soap.
About the 1970-1977 AMC Hornet
AMC built the Hornet as a compact sedan, coupe, wagon and hatchback, and its platform underpinned several later AMC cars.
Pre-Install Checklist
Confirm the center anchor holes are present under the bench and clean them.
Good to Know
Sold as one belt.
A center belt completes a bench seat Hornet.
Phone 574-226-6676 to double-check the seat position in your Hornet.
The metal latch has a period-friendly look.
Choose the same color as the outboard belts.
Hornets are affordable, easy-to-own AMC classics.
A complete set of belts makes the car more practical.
This front lap strap is stitched to order and listed by its maker as meeting FMVSS 209 and 302.
Bench-seat Hornets can carry three across, and a working middle belt means that third passenger rides with a proper restraint instead of an empty buckle slot.
Lay both halves across the bench when nobody is in the middle so the latch plate does not slide down into the crease between cushion and backrest.
Because Seatbelt Planet names the front center position, call 574-226-6676 if you want to use the belt somewhere else in your car and need to confirm it will work.
AMC built the Hornet from 1970 through 1977, with sedans, the Sportabout wagon and a hatchback, and many of those cars used bench seats up front.
Pick a webbing color close to your outboard belts so the front seat looks uniform when the doors are open.
AMC enthusiasts tend to value original-looking parts, and the metal latch here fits the style of an early seventies Kenosha interior.
A complete set of front belts makes a Hornet a more practical weekend car for small families.
Fresh front webbing pairs well with new carpet and seat covers during a Hornet interior refresh.
Hornet bench seats came in vinyl and cloth.
