i put in an order at Corvette Central; got lucky, and they sent me a set or original seat belts for my 1960 a couple of weeks later. However, the wait time is dependent on when their vendor has a set of belts/buckles refurbished. The female buckle was powder coated, male buckle re-chromed. I think the price was around $130.

Do you mean survivor belts? Or do you want restored belts?

3310vette, Thank you for the lead I will contact them and see what they have.

565758, As long as they are original I would consider either restored or unrestored.

Thank you,
Rick

The vendor apparently powder coats the female buckles. After two years of use, there are no scratches or chips. I had one problem with what I received and Corvette Central fixed it. I had measurements from original belts on where the labels were supposed to be sewed on. I provided the measurements, but the vendor did not sew the labels in the correct place on two of the belts. I sent them back at CC's expense, waited a couple of weeks, and they were returned with labels exactly where they should be. The current repro labels are not correct for 59-60 belts, but they are close and that is all there is.
