Default seatbelts

what do you guys do as far as fixing or replacing your seatbelts? i guess reproduction seatbelts are like ~$800 dollars, but there are others that work. what about these these companies that offer seatbelt restoration?

I got some New OEM still in the boxes from paulywannafly. A LOT cheaper than $800 too. I think I paid around $300 - $350 for them. That was for the 2 belts and the receptacles...!

Give paulywannafly a holler

I'm going through the same thing. My retractors aren't working properly, or really too well. The "lip" that pushes the clip out for the belt to release again goes too far and I have to take the seats out and move the clip myself.

If you check out this link, you can get aftermarket retractible shoulder belts/lap belts for your Corvette for around $260....they may have some GM originals they purchased some while back for around $450...but you must call on those...

http://www.andoauto.com/seat_belts.htm

These are a set of their aftermarket belts I got for my 69...they did not have any GM originals for 69 left...
