Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
Cleaned/restored a set of Burgundy belts for someone.
Throughly cleaned, rust removal and freshened with color. I was able to get the white spot out also. Replaced the Upper Anchor covers with better ones. Check out the Before & After pics.

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
TKCR,
I talked to you recently about my bench seat issue. I decided to go with the new LMC bucket seats instead of restoring the OEM bench. I love the seats! However, now I can't stand my OEM Saddle Seat Belts. I'm looking for a set of OEM black or charcoal ones. Can you help? I'd rather not dye the webbing. I'm open to rewebbing them. Let me know what my options are. I'm not worried about the $$, I just want a quality solution. Thanks. |

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
NOT FOR SALE
These were cleaned and restored for someone. Had a bit more cleaning to do on these guys. The previous owner had dyed these themselves, which put a lot of overspray in places it didn’t need to be. So after spending a good day on cleaning all that up and lubing the mechanics, they started retracting well again. Rust removed from all the metal parts. Repaired a few cracks in the housings. Lap belt had been cut away at some point, so I replaced it along with the lap buckle. Also found one of the buckle straps that had a chunk taken out of it, so replaced that with a good strap. Emblems were replaced with better used parts. And New Aftermarket sleeves. Here are the Before pics

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
Just spent about 30 minutes admiring your work in past posts. I am very hopeful I can get my Mahogany set up to you for some cleanup this summer.

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
Working on a set of 76 Green, 1st Style 3pt belts for someone. Whew! These things were dirty! Had an extra set of center belts, so I just cleaned everything and I’ll use the best parts. I had to soak and scrub these about 6 times, changing out the dirty water each time to start the process over again. Finally got them to where the water wasn’t dirty anymore!🤢
I wasn’t too sure about getting that rust cleaned off the upper anchor swivels and male ends, but they came clean! Only had enough color dye to do the small plastic parts. New Emblems will be used on the buckles. Now I have to wait until the order arrives so I can finish these up. Bummer when you go to grab the dye and it’s almost empty.

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts

So this was a set that started off black, but they needed them Saddle, and to match their Custom Seat Material. So these were throughly cleaned, rust removed and all the plastics were dyed Saddle. Then they were sent for new webbing. Also received New GM Emblems and New Male ends. Check out the Before & After pics.

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
This is a set of 1976 Green that was set to me to be cleaned/restored. Set was throughly cleaned, rust removed and freshened up with the correct color. Replaced a couple of the broken buckles covers, lap buckle cover that was missing and front buckle sleeves. All New GM emblems installed on the buckles.
Check out the Before and After pics.
