Hi there guys just wondering if there is a howto/DIY guide to convert 90-91 seatbelts to 88-89 seatbelt since I hate having the belts on the door plus i had an incident when the belt didn't retract and when the door close that metal part of the belt got stuck and made a big dent between the door which really sucks

ps. I used the search bar too

 

thats sucks, i think you should bail on the seat belts and get a pair of racing seats and racing seatbelts!!

 

you could buy a 88-89 just a thought

 

look in the civic/crx faq 2.0, your going to need seatbelts out of another car with pillar mounted seatbelts, I was going to do it but it requires a bit of cutting and welding.

dammit nvm.. lol if there weren't any cutting or welding i would of done it but hey thanks for the url

 

no problem, yeah cutting and welding is the only thing that turned me away from that project, maybe later on down the road, although 5 point seatbelt harness is an option too if you dont like the door belts

 

What cutting?

The only cutting I can think of is drilling or enlarging the holes to drop the nut in. A little dremel or drill bit can do that in 2 mins. If you think that's too much cutting, then you shouldn't own a 20 year old car or work on it at all

As for welding, you can just weld the nut onto a thick washer (both are available at Home Depot) and weld that washer onto the pillar. You can drive your car to a shop with a welder and pay them $20 to weld in 3 spots. Take them about 10 mins to do.

Get those door mtd seatbelts outta there!
