A little progress on the 1987 Belts from posts #298 & #299. The retractors have been rewebbed and are on their way back, can’t wait to see them. I did get the Buckles completed.

These were completed for a board member. 1987 Mahogany color. He also wanted an extender to strap down the cooler on the seat, so I made up an extender since they are usually too small, and only come in black.
So here are the Before pics. |

Next up, someone sent me a big box of 67-72 belts. He wants all of these cleaned & restored, all the same color of Dark Saddle. I don’t normally do these year of belts, and this many at one time lol, but he twisted my arm.
So to start with, here are all the Before pics. |

First order of business, disassemble the buckles from the belts. Then through cleaning of the belts. All the buckles get a good scrubbing. And the metal parts of the buckles get soaked for rust removal.
All these pics are prior to cleaning. |

The 3 small retractors for the right front passenger belt, 2 of the 3 housings were pretty brittle & cracked. New replacements are available, so those were swapped out with new.

Time to do some dyeing again, from the new black to Saddle Tan. Stay tuned, next post should be all the buckles reassembled back on the belts, and then they should be done!

Kinda makes you think a bit about more modern vehicles with a lot more plastic interior and exterior parts that I and some of my buddies have in our collections. I have two GXP V8 Pontiacs (LS4 & Northstar) without any repair parts available should they get hit in the front and some fairly model specific interior trim bits. Our hobby takes some thinking ahead at times. BTW darn nice work on the belts as usual. |

So on that little cover, luckily I could make out the part number on the side. Did a search and was able to find them new. They are a pain to get on. Not so much off, because the old covers are getting pitched anyways. |
Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
Hope you charged accordingly. They got top notch work. Well worth paying for.

This is a set of 76/77 1st Style 3pt belts. Cleaned & restored these for someone. I don’t see too many where the plastic sleeves for the center belts are completely intact. One of them had just a little crack up by the buckle. Not bad for 76/77 belts. Lap belt latch was missing the cover, but that is pretty common on these guys, but I have acquired a few extras.
Here are the Before pics |

Here is a set of 1973-1974 Charcoal 2pt seat belts. These were cleaned, repaired, and restored. One of the retractors was missing the metal mount, was able to repair that with my spare parts. All the emblems were missing, so they received New Emblems. Buckles were disassembled for debris and rust removal. One of the buckle housings was pretty rusty, wasn’t sure if it was going to clean up, but it did!!
Here are the Before Pics |
