Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts

Received someone’s 1987 Belts in the Mail. This is frustrating. 2 things happened here.
1) The seatbelts were packed in the box with no protection. That’s not a good idea. Please! I hate to see someone’s belts get damaged like this. If you send me belts, please protect them in the box.
2) The Post Office likes to play soccer with the boxes. So again, protect the belts by adding protection.
So moving on. I did have a spare housing to replace the one that got broken. These are being sent to get new webbing. So I did my normal rust removal, throughly cleaning and lubing the mechanisms. So I did try my hand at some plastic welding. Thought I would practice on the broken housing. I’m surprised at how well it turned out. Not bad for a first timer!
Tomorrow they will be sent to get new webbing.
