SEAT-BELT QUESTION! VERY IMPORTANT!
 

Hey everyone. I have a questiong for you all! I just got my 1988 Ford Mustang 5.0 and its kinda a project car that needs fixing up. But my question is about the seatbelts. In my two other cars, which are brand new, whenever i pull on the seatbelts really hard, they catch. Well in the mustang, when i pull on them really hard and quick, they don't. Neither the driver or passanger side. I asked my mechanic about this, and he said either 1. They are shot, 2. They might only work on impact (but i have no way to test that) 3. they work with the brake. So anyone who knows anything about this, please help me out!!!

The seatbelts are made to lock under impact, so if they are locking when you hit the breaks hard they are fine. They have a weight that swings back and forth and locks when the weight is not centered.
