Seat Belts

[MoPaR 312]

Hey guys, I’m looking for opinions and/or reviews on restored seatbelts vs reproduction seatbelts.

I’m just about finishing up a car with new black interior and the faded black seats belts aren’t close to matching and some of the chrome is pitted and seen better days.

I have contacted Sharon’s Web and got a quote for $850 for new webbing and re-chromed pieces. I have also seen new reproduction sets online for $575. Ill attach a link to Roseville Mopars seat belts.

My main question is do the reproduction belts look factory? The pattern of the webbing looks similar to my stock belts but they have 1 stock photo zoomed out pretty far. I’m not picky about belts for my drivers but this car is pretty nice and I like the idea of original parts as well.

I bought new for the Bee,I have heard horror stories about people not getting theirs back. Hopefully someone can help you out on a good place.

How bad are your existing belts? I just did some cleanup on mine and they turned out much better than I expected. I had some surface rust too, but sanded some of it off then soaked it in EvapoRust overnight.

What I thought was faded was mostly just very dirty. If my belts were actually faded, I would've boiled them (the non-plastic parts) for a bit in a pot of water with RIT dye, but mine weren't that bad, fortunately.
