Product Description

1972-1983 Honda Civic, Driver & Passenger Seat Belt Kit

• Driver and passenger positions
• Three-point retractable lap and shoulder belts
• End release buckles
• Hardware not included

Seatbelt Planet's two-belt kit for 1972-1983 Honda Civics supplies retracting lap and shoulder restraints for both front seats, each latching with an end release buckle.

Fitment

Driver and passenger seats of first- and second-generation Honda Civics, 1972-1983.

Webbing Colors

The Civic kit comes in 52 webbing colors.

Why Replace?

Early Civics are now rare survivors, and owners restoring one often find the front belts brittle or slow to retract.

Belt Care

Old Civic webbing responds well to a gentle hand wash with diluted detergent, followed by drying outside the reel.

About the Honda Civic

The first Civic arrived in the early 1970s as a small front-wheel drive hatchback, and its CVCC engine met tough emissions rules without a catalytic converter.

Pre-Install Checklist

Hardware is not included, so verify the Civic anchors before ordering.

Good to Know

Seatbelt Planet does not supply hardware.

The second-generation Civic of 1980-1983 grew slightly larger with squarer styling.

Early Civic interiors were often black, tan or blue vinyl.

Collectors increasingly seek out clean first-generation Civics.

Seatbelt Planet sells belts for later Civics as separate listings.

First-generation Civics came as two-door sedans, three-door hatchbacks and later wagons, and this kit covers the front seats.

The CVCC engine used a stratified-charge design with a small pre-combustion chamber, a clever solution to 1970s emissions rules.

Early Civics weighed very little, and their simple interiors used thin seats with basic belts.

Rust claimed many first-generation Civics, so the survivors are often treasured restorations.

Bolts are not included, so inspect the Civic's anchors before ordering.

Second-generation Civics added a five-speed manual on some models and a more modern dashboard.

Black, tan and blue webbing suit many early Civic interiors.

Owners restoring early Civics often source belts during the interior refresh.

The Civic's front seats sit low in a small cabin, and a three-point belt from Seatbelt Planet fits that layout.

Early Civics were praised for their fuel economy during the 1970s fuel crisis.

Honda's reputation in North America grew rapidly thanks to the success of the first Civic.

Measure the original Civic belts before ordering.

The first Civic's 1.2 liter engine made about 50 horsepower, but its light weight made it lively in city traffic.

Second-generation Civics of 1980-1983 offered a 1.3 and 1.5 liter engine and an available Hondamatic semi-automatic transmission.

Owners of early Civics are part of a passionate community that shares parts and restoration knowledge.

Seatbelt Planet's Civic kit covers both front seats in one order, so the driver and passenger belts match.

Early Civic hatchbacks have a large rear opening, and sun through the hatch glass can fade front belts as well.

First- and second-generation Civics sold in huge numbers, yet clean survivors with original interiors are now uncommon at shows.

Compare the stalk length of your Civic's original buckles with the new kit before fitting.
