seat belts

Has anyone replaced the retractable shoulder seat belts in an Avanti II? My belts in my 1982 are hard to pull out in one motion, have to keep pulling and releasing to get them to come out far enough to buckle.

My ‘83 is like that…. on not so often used passenger side.

Just did that. Seat belts Plus is a good source. Got full set from Wesco; fronts went in nicely but the rears were unusable! They were so long they'd have been loose on Sidney Greenstreet or Andy Divine!  If you order the fronts only from Wesco, they should work OK and aren't too $$$

Thanks, yea the passenger seat is more of an issue than the driver seat. I'm driving to AOAI in Palm Springs and don't want to have my wife fight with the seat belt every time. I'm looking at a set on Seat belts plus, Is Wesco a different site or the same place?

Lots of options at the various Hot Rod supply shops; here's one that may work for you:
