Has anyone mounted 3pt retractable seatbelts in a halfcab with roll cage ? I keep being told it's virtually impossible, because of limited space between side of seat and door panels. We have the Bailie bilt half cab cage installed

Roll bar behind seat on edge of interior right? Should be no issue, does roll bar have the mount bunge already welded?

I don't have a Bailie cage but I do have a half cab cage inside my half cab. I mounted the shoulder belt mount to a bung welded in my back roll bar that is parallel to the inside cage. The mounting bolt went thru the cab and allows the shoulder belt to tuck in behind my inside cage bar when not being used. It works good.

No bunge mounted yet. The concern is more for the retractable portion that sits between the seat and door. Not enough clearance. Possibly looking at different brands of belts to see if there is much difference in sizes

Understand your issue, I had to adjust the side to side position of my seats (non stock) and use a right angle mount for the retractor to make it work. The fixed belt location was
separate from the retractor mount.

I mounted retractable 3-point seat belts in my half cab with a bench seat. I have the Bailie Bilt interior roll bar. It was bit tricky as I had to fabricate some offset mounting points. But it is doable!

Did you call Gordon or ask him where or if he has ever put bungs in? If I recall correctly it is possible with stock seats but depending on what seats you have may limit your options.
