Hi Ken,
You asked:

Not in 1970, they weren't. The lap belts were on a retractor, but
the shoulder belts were not.
>Well,

>(another belt i assume) to slip through.
The lap belt buckle slips through the "elongated O" so as to assemble
the three piece lap/shoulder combo belt.

>So, was this an original 1970 GT6 belt, or out of another Triumph?
It sure sounds like the right belt - I'm at my desk, and my car is
across campus right now, so I can't check the numbers, but your
description sounds right.
>Is it correct that there's no retractor on this belt?
That is correct for the shoulder belt; at least that's how mine is,
and my car was extremely correct when I got it (I am the second
owner).
