Seat belt re-webbing
« on: Friday,July 15, 2022, 07:13:57 AM »
Tired of those old, faded, stiff and binding seat belts?

Try these folks out. The process is painless, and the results were outstanding. They can repair retractors, refit new anchors and much more. Pay it forward & send them the belts, the turn-around
time was less than a week.

Lou, did they actually repair your retractors? I had my seatbelts done by Ssnake-Oyl (http://www.ssnake-oyl.com/j back in the ‘90s. They rewebbed them in the color of my choice but they admitted up front that they were unable to repair my retractors if they needed it (thankfully they were and are fine).

It would be great to know of a place that can actually repair your retractors should that become necessary!

BDA...Yes, one of my reels was very noisy in both directions. Now it's factory fresh!

Sorry to piggy back onto this listing, but I would like to install TWO Point lap belts in my car.  Does anyone have a set of Kangol lap belts (not Three Point) kicking around their parts box?

Damn...I was just up in Westfield MA and saw the sign for them...if I had known, would have pulled mine out and dropped them off...thanks for the info, Lou.
