73 Seatbelts
I need new belts and would like to keep the seatbelt warning system working. The vendors I've checked don't supply the wiring to support it, I assume they mean the retractor doesn't have the switch on it. What are you guys doing for this? Have you found a good rebuilder, cost to do lap belts ?

As far as I know, there isn't anyone that reproduces the retractors with
the switch in them. I didn't care for reminder anyway, so I just replaced
mine with new belts with retractors without switch on seats and new belts
with retractors for shoulders.
There is a company that restores belts, but I don't know if they restore
the retractors with the switch. You might check with them, just Google:

I did keep and store my original retractors and belts.

Thanks Donnie. ..I think that's the route I'm going too. I made this post before I pulled the passenger side, it's a clump of rust, not much left to rebuild. Driver side wasn't bad. At this point safety is going to be my main concern.
