The Seatbelt Planet 1973-1976 Datsun 260Z 2+2, Driver & Passenger Seat Belt Kit, sold by Vintage Car Radio, updates the front seats of these longer-wheelbase Z-cars with modern restraint while respecting their unique blend of performance and occasional practicality.

Unlike the pure two-seater 260Z, the 2+2 version stretched the wheelbase to create a pair of small rear seats. This made the car more usable for weekend trips or carrying extra passengers without abandoning the sharp handling and distinctive styling that defined the Z lineage. The front seats still sat the driver and passenger in a low, connected position, and the 2.6-liter inline-six delivered smooth, usable power. Many owners treated the 2+2 as a long-distance grand tourer as much as a sports car. What lagged behind was the original safety equipment. Factory belts from this period have typically aged poorly—webbing loses strength and colour, buckles grow sticky or break, and some cars have had the belts removed entirely during earlier restorations.

This kit from Seatbelt Planet provides a complete pair of 3-point belts tailored to the 1973-1976 260Z 2+2 front seating positions. Dense, UV-resistant polyester webbing offers consistent strength and a range of colours that can be matched to original or refreshed interiors. The buckles are all-metal with a chrome finish and a firm, positive latching action. Matching hardware keeps the installation looking intentional rather than aftermarket.

All components are produced to exceed FMVSS 209 and 302 requirements for tensile strength and flame resistance. The straps adjust widely so drivers and passengers of different sizes can achieve a correct fit without raising the seating position or interfering with the car’s natural driving posture.

Fitment is designed around the existing floor structure of the 2+2. The kit contains the necessary fasteners and brackets. In the majority of cases only minor work is needed. Critical note: torque values and assembly sequence must be taken exclusively from the printed instructions supplied with the kit. Proper tightening is essential for the system to function as intended.

For owners who still cover real distance in their 260Z 2+2—whether on touring routes, club events, or regular drives—the improvement is immediate. The front seats gain proper three-point protection while the car’s distinctive character and occasional four-seat flexibility remain unchanged.

Vintage Car Radio supplies the complete Seatbelt Planet kit with the correct hardware and guidance, keeping the installation process clear for both professional workshops and experienced owners.

The result is a clean, effective update that lets the 260Z 2+2’s combination of performance and usability be enjoyed with greater assurance. The car keeps its identity; the front seats simply become properly equipped. Order from Vintage Car Radio and bring the restraint system in line with the rest of this versatile classic Z.
