Argh, regret, sigh! Your suggestions make too much sense, cheap tacky looking black belts it is :cry:

Does anyone know of 60’s reproductions but to todays standards?


pfft.... Keep the belts you have, if they are in good nick (photos dont always show reality). Its not like as if they will snap in accident....

My opinion and will save you a few dollars.

They are in pretty reasonable condition but mainly trying to work out why each belt are different from each other and which ones it would have had originally?

I think after market ones are available but if not original belts probably dont need them??

I think getting parts re chromed and belts re webbed sounds like a possibilty too!

For those who don't know: Fixed seat belts, rather than inertia reels, should be worn low and tight, snug even....seatbelts extend under load....designed to do so...so, if you have em loose, you get rocketed forward in a sudden stop, then hit the belt, then it extends....

then your nose is probably already at the windscreen :shock: :idea: :!:
