Subject:Re-webbing seatbelts - reponse summary
From:Holly and Chris Mills
Date:Sat, 24 Mar 2001 18:05:31 -0600

Got about 5 responses from 3 lists. One referred my to a British company
advertising in Hemming Motor News. They didn't know the name or any info.
Worth checking though.

Also heard from several folks on the Corvair list how gave glowing reports
on a TX company that does this --- Ssnake Oyl at 800-284-7777
and  http://www.ssnake-oyl.com

Don't know anything about them personally yet. Will be checking. I have
plenty of seatbelt hardware gathered over the years but I doubt the
reliability of any of the belts themselves - I'm sure the retractors are
fine. In my case I'm trying to get my 1978 VW Westfalia back on the road.

The aftermarket seems to offer plenty of plain belts - lap and shoulder
combos but I've seen very, very few with retractors. I just want the OEM
style hardware so it fits the first time but I want my family to be safe.

This is another address to check.

I'm still looking for more sources so if you can offer any more info please
write. Hope this helps somebody.
