I know they look like "mint" NOS, but they have been touched up and painted. A secret for installing these is to wrap gorilla tape around the tips of your slip joint pliers to keep from scratching the finish.

I did zero homework on this and just shipped them to Ssnake-Oyl. I've never heard any complaints about them other than the cost.

Bob, have you gotten them back yet? If so, curious about the quality of their work. Mine need restored badly.

BJ - I did get the seat belts back from SsnakeOyl and they look fantastic. Better than brand new I am sure. The whole process was very professional. You send them your belts for evaluation. Once they arrive someone will call you after doing an initial inventory and evaluation. A few days later after further evaluation by a tech they email you a detailed quote with the scope of work defined, detailed notes on any optional work they could also do., and a projected completion date. Upon confirmation they put them in queue. I received mine 3 or 4 days earlier than quoted, but it seems like it took about 8 weeks or so. I'll try to get some pictures this weekend.
