Has anyone on the forum used any of the "mail in" seat belt re-webbing services? I'm interested in having the stock lap belts and shoulder harnesses re-webbed for my 1970 Roadster. Also thinking about having the straps on the rear parcel shelf re-webbed as well. All the hardware on the belts are in good working order; the webbing is faded and a bit frayed. I really want to stay as original as possible, not go with "close enough" replacements. A number of businesses pop up when I Google this:
https://www.safetyrestore.com
https://www.seatbeltplanet.com
https://webbingreplacement.com
They're all about the same - 24 hour turn-around, $75 to $99 per belt, etc.
TIA

I used a company in Texas:
Ssnake-Oyl restoration
I thought they did a pretty good job. Don't remember the price.

I used safety restore on another car that I cut the rear seat belts accidentally; they turned it around pretty quick.

Re: Seat Belt Re-webbing Service
I used safetyrestore.com and they were good.
My only complaint was that they did not cover the buckle itself when shipped back. My buckles were brand new and sustained some, abet minimal scratches. Just bummed because it could have been easily prevented. The people doing the restores don't know the value in a part that is that rare.

Oh. Don't be afraid to ask for color or material samples. They gave em out freely and it does help even if you know you want red or black. They usually have multiple choices.

Re: Seat Belt Re-webbing Service
How did their pricing work? They say "per seat belt"; did that cover both pieces of the lap belt? What about the shoulder harness piece? I've messaged them and the other vendors about pricing if "per seat belt" covers the three pieces that make up a set for each seat.Solex68 wrote: Thu Dec 22, 2022 10:58 pm I used safetyrestore.com and they were good.

Re: Seat Belt Re-webbing Service
I only did the seat belts. In 2019 they were $45 a set (with a coupon). Back then I did not have a harness.
