If you ever need to have those seat belts actually work in order to save your life. It would be better to have Snake-oyl make you some new red ones. Any automobile seat belt that is more than 50 years old is probably not up to speck on it's tensile strength. Over time the light from the sun as well as the (seasons) summers and winters take their toll on any man-made fabric item, the actual webbing as well as the stitching. I found some really clean dark blue "GM logo" seat belts out of the back seat of a 1987 Cadillac in the auto salvage yard 2 summers ago. I am going to try those in my car. The Cadillac blue is very close to my interior color of 1963 Navy Blue. Plus I got to them within just 4 or 5 days of that car arriving into the yard. I remember the car, it was a big 4 door rear wheel drive full size Cadillac. It had not yet rained that whole week so the interior was still nice, no bad smells.
