seat belt question

[mazzerock]

I parked my car next to a escort at work, and I noticed the seatbelt was automatic like the one in my 323. I took a closer look, the seat belt looked just like the ones in the Protege. Problem is there aren't that many 323s in the jy around my way. Does anyone know if a egt's seatbelts are the same as the 323s and Protege?

don't quote me but i believe them to be a little different. it wouldn't hurt to go true one out tho. hit up the JY and buy one they cant be to expensive to give it a shot.

Thanx 4 the tip neuspeedescort. I'm gonna hit up the jy in 2 weeks. Was hoping some1 in here has tried it. I guess I'll b the 1st. Wish me luck, I'll let u know.

323 has a shorter wheelbase so i'd assume also shorter doors... so i'm betting youre gonna need 323 belts.

UNLESS you get manual seat belts from someone in canada, in which case 2-door escort ones should work just fine.

Actually you can buy the manual seat belts brand new they are sold as singles or pairs, I think pair go for about 75 or more not sure if I got the price right or so. And not necessarily from canada but definitely in the us.

well you still need the canadian trim pieces in order to have a nice clean install.

umm can i get teh specs on the 323 wheel base? im pretty sure a bg chassis is a bg cahssis. the big difference is the ass is shorter. like 2/3's the trunk space.

wheel base...

[mazzerock]

The wheel base on the 323 is (Wheelbase, in. 96.5).

I forgot to mention, I have the seatbelts. Its the automatic track thats f-ed up. I just wanna get one that works when the door closes and opens.

[therieldeal]

its gonna have to be from a 323 most likely

[mazzerock]

Thanx therieldeal, I'm gonna try looking at one just 2 c, on my next jy trip.

very intresting on the wheel base issue! i was wrong. its not much of a difference tho. but it still is!
