Re: Who does Seat belt Restoration?
Call CheyenneSuperMan (Gary ___?) here on the board, his prices are close to or better than snake oyl and he's really, really good at it from what I've seen.

Re: Who does Seat belt Restoration?
Has anyone had snakeoyl do a set? How much? I have a guy local who restores them. Need to find his info and I'll post it if anyone's interested. He has some NOS webbing at last check. Otherwise it's three rows vs 5 like they were in the webbing. His stuff looks brand new when finished.

Re: Who does Seat belt Restoration?
Snake Oyl is expensive, but there is a lot of liability in seat belts. This is not a place to cut corners.

Re: Who does Seat belt Restoration?
Hinshaw rewebs them with new webbing so I dont think it would be cutting corners but Ive read good things about Snake Oyl too.

Re: Who does Seat belt Restoration?
Sorry-not trying to say they were bad-or good. I don't know anything about them firsthand. I was just trying to say that seat belts (and brakes) are not a place to cut corners. Cheaper may be fine in most places, but cheap seat belts CAN kill you-or someone you care about- when you need them most. Just buy from a reputable source and you should be OK.

Re: Who does Seat belt Restoration?
I had a set rewebbed by SnakeOyl, they did a great job. Normally they will ask you to send your belts to them for an estimate. They charged me $80 per retractor.

Re: Who does Seat belt Restoration?
I called earlier and the local gentleman was unavailable...will try again later but if I remember correctly he charges around 30-40 per belt and no corners are cut. He brings dozens of sets to super chevy every year and I've used some of his in a couple vehicles. Look and function like new with new webbing.

Re: Who does Seat belt Restoration?
There is a guy who I have bought belts from off of ebay. He also does belt restoration and from what I have seen, his stuff is top notch. I will send my belts to him for sure. His name is Tom of Tom's Trim 303-425-5162. I don'tknow what he charges but you won't be disappointed.
