Default Where to have seat belts rebuilt

Hi,

Where do you guys recommend sending a set of original seat belts to be rebuilt? The straps are stained with rust and the retracting mechanisms are frozen. Thank you.

I used snake oil in texas. They were originally delivered 3 weeks past the estimated rebuild time of 5 weeks and the paint was bad. They fixed the problem and I had perfect belts in another week. Great belts, very very expensive and crap service.

Default I think it might be: SSNAKE OYL" or something like that.

My experience with them was very good.

This happened about four years ago so I don't remember a lot of the specifics, like the odd spelling of their company name. However, my Bright Blue belts now look great and the cost wasn't outrageous.

One vote here for SSNAKE OYL in Texas.

I used Snake Oyl for my C3 belts. Did a very good job and on time. Would try them on the '62 belts when they need replacing.

I've used Charlie many times and refered quite a few customers to him. Haven't had any complaints. Charlie's a character, may seem a little gruff, but does good work.

Charlie did the belts for my 63. Fine work. Not a super chit chat kind of guy, but I wanted nice belts, not chit chat !!
