Haven't posted much on the 55. Slowly getting everything working. Thanks to @Drice the rear window and gear is working perfectly Thanks. The last few days I have been replacing all the vent hoses for the fuel tank. I am really excited about getting the AC working. At some point I will have to swap it over the R134.

I am so glad the gear worked. I am starting to get feedback and it is all positive as to operation. I have had a few people say they had to sand and or polish.

Pulled all the seat belts out for cleaning. There very hard to adjust. Any suggestions getting them to free up ?

Sent mine off to Ssnake Oly. Not back yet so can’t really say if it’s worth the effort yet.

Snake Oyl?
Is that the company that reuses all your original latches and re-belts them?

Ssnake Oyl Products

Interesting, anxious to hear how they turn out. Have some I’d like to have restored.

Yes but they also offer restoration of the original buckles/latches and retractors. They can also reproduce the original tags for the belts. I sent them all my original belts which were complete except for two of the plastic covers for the rear lap belts. I also sent them a plethora of spares which included spare covers so that they could pick and choose components for the set. I will post up before and after photos in my build thread when I get them back.

If you just want your belts rewebbed, Safety Restore is a more economical alternative. I used them on my 80 series front shoulder harnesses a few years ago and they did a nice job.
