The mirror is the original. I cleaned and polished it. It was better, but not perfect.

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
Disassembled some buckles this evening, for through cleaning. Ever wonder why your buckles don’t work properly?

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
Looking to get three point belts in the middle row of my 83 suburban...to replace just lap belts. I found the retractor part on eBay....but not the female buckle ends...
Will 1990 male belts fit into 1983 female belt buckles? |

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
Those were done in the 78 Green. There’s several shades of green, based on the year.

I did a seat once in the 81 green, this will give you a better idea of what that shade of green looks like. The vinyl and the seatbelt bezel plastic is the best representation of the 81 green.

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
You are correct. The webbing is black. They want the casings to be black, to match their interiors, that are black. Now when I did my Charcoal Black belts, I did the casings in Charcoal, to match my Charcoal interior.

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
Completed these Burgundy belts for someone. Through cleaning and freshening up. I did find a broken piece that hold the counter balance. That would explain why the one retractor wasn’t working the way it should. Got it replaced with a good one, that wasn’t broke.

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
Completed a set of Blue belts for someone. These guys were dirty. The webbing was stiff from years of muck build up on the webbing. Mounts were rusty. Buckle emblems were pretty worn, so those were replaced with new ones.
Here are the Before pics.
