I would imagine any universal retractable seatbelt will work fine, the spring in one of mine made a run for the hills this week so I have to replace it

Positioning the reel unit is a bit more of a problem, but you could no doubt mount them onto the load area floor and use reinforcing plates up inside the engine bay. There's no easy way to make the installation 'invisible' in a Type 3 you want to keep looking original.
The static belts are a lot less trouble assuming you have the lower mountings still there, and not removed as part of a repair, which is the more common scenario unfortunately. If you generally carry the same people - ie adults, teenagers - it's a lot simpler to use static belts. I changed the fronts to inertia reel and used the fronts as rear statics.
