Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts

You sure do nice work!

When restoring belts have you come across any that you thought were just too far gone?

I had a set that were getting "fuzzy" from wear. Not frayed exactly, just small fibers. I regret throwing them away.

Thank you, and yes I have had a few that’s too far gone. I’ve have a few that have been “fuzzy”. Like this set. I had already gotten some of the “fuzzies” off, before I cleaned them. Then I worked on them some more, and got most of it.

Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts

Just finished up the final pieces for the Suburban belts I was doing for someone. We needed to find buckles and caps, for bucket seats. The one side was cracked and missing a small piece of plastic. So that one got epoxied, and I added a small piece, to fill the opening. Then they were cleaned and dyed.
I also put new emblem and better buckle covers on these.
