I have a Seat belt Question

Is there a Vendor that sells the Center seat belt sleeves?

The plastic pieces that crumble apart.

Nope, no vendors that sell them.

Couple of things.
The sleeves in question are for the 79-87 belts. The previous year, the sleeves are straight, they don’t have all the curves & twist. But the twist is a pia in my opinion anyways. If it’s not on there, the belt lays nicely on the seat.
1) why would you cut the sides and resew?
2) why do the twist?
If you going to try them, try and use them without doing all the modifications.

I did just get a set of gray. I have a set of belts that are getting changed to the light gray color, so I bought a set to try out. Hope it’s not a waste of money. But I’ll update, but over on the seatbelt thread instead of this thread, since this thread is for the Benchseats.
