Seat Belts for 87 442

[442_olds]

I had posted this in the Interior section, but did not get a response. I am looking for a good source for replacement seat belts for my 87 442. Color is 79 Dark Claret. Where is a good source for these belts?

I sent the seat belts from my 87 442 to Seat Belt Planet to be rewebed. My car is blue inside, and the color wasn't a perfect match, but they sure look better than what was there before. They're right in your face when you open the door, so it sure looks nice when they're fresh.

Your realistic options depend on your budget, goals and purposes.

If you're doing a full on restore youre probably going to want to send them out to be rebuild. I recommend hitting a couple BIG major antique car shows and talking to a couple companis that take your existing metal hardware and sew new fabric on.

If yours are locking improperly then used may be an option, but, degrees of fraying and color fading are an issue, ESPECIALLY with that color.

If you don't care about having gm logos on the buckles, and, if the metal portions being 'similar but noticeably different' doesn't matter to you, there are companies that make 100% new units.

Used will be cheapest, but, possibly tough to find depending on your quality level. To have yours restored/rewebbed will be similar cost to new, but, have a waiting time of usually 4-8 weeks, possibly more now with the virus issues.

I fond some information on another forum page that mentioned Seat Belts Plus...they apparently get theirs from Seat Belt Solutions in Jupiter, Florida:
