About Us

We are finalizing plans to offer a service that replaces the worn or faded webbing from your seat belts on your 62-72 Pontiac. Also, we have the ability to provide brand new Seat belt assemblies in most COLORS. Finally, we are experimenting with a retractor assembly that would be available in most colors. The webbing would probably not have the 'identical' pattern as original, but it would only be noticible to the most descrimating concours individual. Here are a couple of questions we would be interested in your feedback.

Thanks.

CCass,

Why 62 and up, why not 61 and up since 61 and 62 cars are almost mechanically idenical????

The 66 Female buckle ended up being the wrong style for Pontiac. We are currently restoring the retractors though. We can do 65-67 deluxe. This is the type that has two little rectangular openings in the retractor cover that the actual retractor housing clips into.

What is the status of selling reproduction retractor seat belt assemblies for GTOs? This is something that people would surely buy. At this point, I am looking at buying the J. C. Whitney belts with chrome lift latch buckles. They at least look like what I have seen in early mid 60s Pontiacs. No insult to Performance Years, but nothing in your catalog looks like GTO seatbelts. They have a very generic, aftermarket appearance. Any plans to produce or sell a complete seat belt?

I would definitely be interested in a re-webbing service for the front belts with retractors. Snake Oyl did my driver's side belt a few years ago with good results, but a less expensive source would be welcome!

Also needed are reproductions of the plastic seat belt related parts such as the covers for the tunnel mounted front belts and the plastic buckle covers used in 79-81.

Ccass, Did this seat belt service get up and running? There is a question about finding '70 Sandlewood seatbelts in the Judge section, and I have not been able to find '70 Saddle seat belts.

Im like Cuz68 need a retractor repaired for 79 TA

Its ok to giggle and snicker, dont laugh and point

formula74 · 03-05-2004, 05:17 PM

Need those stupid little blue plastic pieces that break in the buckle. Buckle is useless without them.73-74 firebird

HWYSTR455 · 10-24-2005, 08:17 AM

Did this die? I'm in need of some buckles for several cars...

Junkyard Dog · 10-29-2003, 07:39 PM

What I mean is, for example, the 1966 deluxe seat belts with retractors that you used to list in your catalog. When I went to buy them, they were no longer carried. Any plans to make them again? Otherwise, its J.C. Whitney, as I want my seat belts to look new, so used assemblies are not under consideration.

I'd like new belt portions for mine, ther black but even the black is stained and weathered.

It is one thing that makes the interior look finished and cool

as well as the monster tach and the nitrous guage.

All good things are worth waiting for. "Yeah right", I want them now!

No offense taken. Snake Oyl does a super job. Because of a local source, We just have an interesting opportunity to supply PY customers with our versions of this service at a potential savings. Take note that we have no intentions of restoring customers actual chrome buckle assemblies.

Uhm,

"I've benn lucky with finding great condition seat belts, like all the time." - Quote Half-Inch Stud circa 1980s.

"I cannot find even a pair of decent seat belts. fugggeddaboud a whole front set or a whole back seat set. Fugggeddaboud matching buckles for the car year or interior grade." - Half-Inch Stud 2003

I think the seatbelts are piled-up in storage next to the 68-72 Pontiac replacement stereos.

There seems to be many good used seatbelts around, but colors like light tan, red and blue are hard to find with consistent color.

About 1/100 people actually realize that there are many different webbing styles, so that should not affect the demand.

brian damian · 05-15-2003, 12:44 PM

theres a company that used to advertise in the musclecar mags based here in texas. just got my gold ones
restored by them and they look great. new webbing,
rechromed mounts, new retractor covers in the proper color, oh yeah-they ain't cheap. they can also restitch the date tags back on if they are still good.

larry davis · 05-14-2003, 08:34 AM

In the never ending prcoess of making more work for myself; I oversprayed my rear belts.

Now I'll have to clean or replace.

Whaddadumbass.
