Here's a guy on another car forum that shows the belts he built for his car, complete with tags. He shows the sources for the proper webbing and ends, maybe get some ideas?

I have a green set that I want to make black. Will the RIT also work for this application? I have heard trying to dye the green black makes a funky color? anyone have advice?

CamJam, on the AMC forum, did a very thorough job on his seat belt resto. It was also seven years ago, so who knows what the prices are now. So I have a '66 Satellite with the bright red interior. My neighbor and I cleaned the rear belts yesterday, first with a lackluster showing from Krud Kutter, followed up with a much better showing from Oxi-Clean. The belts just look really faded.
Going to pay a visit to the local Michael's this morning for some Rit, my only question being, would the wine color be the closest color match? At this point, I don't know what the exact color should be because I haven't seen any other red examples out there.
Any help with the correct red color would be helpful.

Thank you.
