Default seat belt repair

Hi, My 69 corvette original shoulder harness seatbelts do not retract anymore, is that repairable and if so do you know any place around the country besides Snake-oyl that repairs seat belts, and my other question is, I know the bolts for the shoulder harness has shoulders, do any of the other bolts to the lap belts have shoulders as well? thank you for any help.

Sometimes you can find the springs online at the vendors and try changing them yourself.
Also I believe all the seat belt bolts have shoulders. These are available as well from the
vendors or the big auction house.

Hey Jhudec, do you know of a vendor that carries a replacement spring for seat belts? I have been searching for a year with no luck. Thanks Ike

Sorry, no I do not. The last time I needed one I got it off the forum here. I have seen them on ebay from time to time.
Maybe send socalvettes an email, they are a vendor here. May also try bigcity corvettes out of CA. Ask both these guys
if they have any retractors with damaged webbing and maybe they will sell you the springs?
The guys at socalvettes are great.
Ask for Steve.

Thanks Joe I appreciate the response. So Cal, I am looking for a good nonrusted spring for a 72 lap belt. What would the cost be? Thanks
