I've got something similar on my '70. I've got the retracting part of the
mechanism bolted to the bottom of the roll bar. One of the problems is
that the retracting mechanism has two ways to catch. One is if there is a
sudden movement on the belt and the second if if the retractor is no longer
perpendicular to the ground. This is so if you are upside down the belts
will keep you in. because the roll bar has a slight angle to it the
retracting mechanism sometimes may stick on mine. This is especially true
on the passenger side, mostly because the passenger that rides with me
likes to yank on the belt to get more belt.
