You won't have any light saddle 81-87 retractors for sale by chance. I want to retrofit them into a 72 blazer for the shoulder belts. Plan is to anchor the top point to the roll bar. I would have them rewebbed with parchment and the correct buckle so it looks somewhat period correct. I just want something light close to 72 parchment, I will paint them but wanted something light in case they get scratched.

Awesome, if you take some pictures of the lightest you have that would be great.
