Seat Belt Planet Customization (1 Viewer)

[macdaddy59]

So I want4d to keep my seat belts as original as possible but needed to replace the retractors. So I called Steve at Seat Belt Planet and talked it over with him and here is what we came up with.

The rear jump seats I kept the OEM original buckle and receiver and had them install new webbing. I cleaned up both the buckle and receiver prior to having the new webbing installed as this made it easier to paint and clean without damage to the new webbing. I used the Audi pewter color that I used on the other interior pieces on the button and then gave the body of the receiver 2 coats of epoxy and one finished coat of satin black.

For the 3 point front seat belts I purchased new retractors but had my OEM original male receiver installed so I could use the original receivers with them. I painted them in the same way described above and shot the black plastic covers to the receivers with SEM black paint. This way I get to use the original wiring as well.

Everything came with new hardware to install.

Nice. My retractors have some issues, buckles are mostly good, but the drivers side webbing is fraying badly, so I think I'll have to send them all out to be re-done next winter. How long did it take to get them back?

# weeks turnaround time. Talk to Steve as he is the guy that does all of the custom order stuff.

Nice! The passenger side retractor went south on my ‘78 a few years ago, so they reworked the passenger side, good work but it was spendy

I got all of mine done for $250

I spent just under that for passenger side only
