[T3] Front Seat Belt options?

I installed 3-point retractable aftermarket belts in Jill’s Type 34 Ghia many years ago and we have been happy with them, even if they bind a bit at the d-ring, but I think that is do to the geometry of the Ghia more than the belts.  I also installed aftermarket 3-point retractable belts from SeatBeltsPlus.com<http://SeatBeltsPlus.com> in our 71 West bus.   These also work great.

I am sure could be installed in a Square and not affect the folding of the seat.  The retractors are smaller than the 71 Type 3 retractors I have in Sophy, my 66 Square, and they don’t interfere.

What's the general consensus on replacement front seat belts?  I still have
my originals, but they are starting to show their age. Lol.  I've seen the
retractables offered for Bugs, but nothing specifically for Type 3.  Do
the retractables interfere with the rear seat being folded down?  If you
have a link to ones that you've used and had success with, that would be
great!
