Fitment Notes
Driver and passenger seats of Fiat X1/9 models listed for 1973-1978; the Seatbelt Planet description text itself mentions 1977-1978.
Available Colors
The X1/9 kit comes in 52 webbing colors.
Why New Belts Matter
X1/9 owners often drive their cars on twisty roads with the targa top stowed, and sun-faded belts are a common sight in these little mid-engine cars.
Keeping Them Like New
Pollen and road grit settle on X1/9 belts when the targa panel is off; brush them clean and sponge with mild suds.
About the Fiat X1/9
Bertone designed the X1/9 as a compact mid-engine two-seater with a removable targa roof panel that stows in the front trunk.
Before You Install
Check the X1/9 anchor points before ordering, and confirm your model year against this listing.
Good to Know
Hardware is included with this Fiat kit.
The early X1/9 used a 1.3 liter four-cylinder, later replaced by a 1.5 liter engine and five-speed gearbox.
Retracting lap belts keep the straps tidy in the small X1/9 cabin.
Black, tan and brown webbing suit many X1/9 interiors.
The X1/9's mid-engine layout put the engine behind the seats, giving it balanced handling praised by reviewers of the time.
Lap belts suit the X1/9's compact cabin, where the seats sit close to the bulkhead.
The X1/9 has two trunks, one in front and one behind the engine.
Fiat sold the X1/9 in the United States through the early 1980s, after which Bertone took over marketing.
Retracting lap belts keep the straps off the seats when the car is parked with the top off.
Seatbelt Planet includes hardware with this X1/9 kit.
Rust is common in X1/9 floors, so check the anchors before ordering.
Owners restoring a X1/9 often refresh the interior with new belts.
The removable targa top on the X1/9 stows in the front trunk, letting owners enjoy open-air driving.
Measure the original X1/9 belts before ordering.
X1/9 owners often autocross their cars, and the belts see real use.
Bertone-built X1/9s from 1983 onward carried Bertone badging, but this listing covers the earlier Fiat-branded years.
The X1/9 was praised for handling that some reviewers compared to far more exotic mid-engine cars.
The X1/9's targa roof panel weighs little and fits neatly in the front luggage compartment.
Seatbelt Planet's retracting lap belts suit the low, close-coupled seating of the X1/9.
X1/9 cabins are snug, and the retracting lap belts tuck away neatly so they do not tangle with the shifter or handbrake.
Compare the original X1/9 belt lengths with the new kit before fitting.
