Does anyone know where to get the original looking webbing for the door check straps?

On my 1970 vehicle it's simply seat belt webbing.

The only other option is to cut up an old seat belt.

While on the subject of check straps, I believe some of the factory documentation seems to indicate they matched the strap to the interior colour in the approx 67 - 72 period. However did this ever occur in practice, most just seem to be grey.

Thats interesting. I did see a service bulletin somewhere (somewhere meaning Dougs) saying the seat belt colour was to be matched to the trim colour from 1967. Maybe it was on the same service bulletin.

Thanks for the replies.

The car did not have any door check straps when I bought it. I bought some vinyl straps from UK before I knew the originals where meant to be seatbelt webbing. The vinyl straps are 43mm wide and fit the clamps OK. I then bought some 50mm wide grey seatbelt webbing which is actually more like 48mm wide but the material seems to be too wide for the clamps. I then thought it might need to be 38mm (1-1/2") webbing but I can't find any in grey.

Could someone with original straps run a ruler over theirs and let me know what width and length they are?

I'm probably way over thinking this but I'm trying to stay close to original where I can.

My '70 S also has grey door straps. Original seat belts were black - interior is black. Didn't own the car from new but fairly sure this is original as I doubt the door checks were changed under SPO 41.
