Hi Phill,

Plenty of seat belt discussion here, took me a bit to find this post. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=78963 I was thinking of ordering new ones from here, http://wescoperformance.stores.yahoo.net/1126s.html |

Why not pull them apart and get metal parts redone and then stitch in new belting. |

I fitted my 1977 Clubman with 4 Inertia reel belts I got from Klippan,Melbourne. The 2 back ones mounted on the parcel shelf. Reasonably priced , and are great! Website= http://www.selectgear.com.au/partners/klippan.aspx |

I'm trying to keep everything as original as possible, the belts I have are in quite good condition, even the metal parts. They are not even faded. I do have another set i am looking at having the webbing replaced. Seat belt solutions in WA have webbing that is identical appearance to the original but it is slightly narrower. |

Phil , i have been meaning to clean the drivers side seatbelt in my Rodeo ute as it has become dirty over the years of having it on with my work clothes on , i was thinking of using some Prepsol on a rag and giving it a wipe over to see if that cleans it up . |
