The retractor on the driver's shoulder belt in my 1975 Chrysler Newport has stopped working. The retractor on the lap belt still works fine. My dealer says it will cost $100 for the assembly (plus labor) to fix it. Do I have any alternatives? Can I get an assembly from a junk yard or ...? Is it something even an idiot (well, slow learner) can do? Or should I just keep driving around with a loose shoulder belt and rely on the iron mass up front to deal with all the hondas, etc I might run into? What if I hit a Mack truck? Thanks in advance. -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!" Dick Grantges hound!rfg
