C2 Seat Belt Reinforcement Cable Source ?

[Mark P.]

Does anyone know a source for these cables ? All the Corvette vendors seem to be out and list this as discontinued.

Anyone been able to repair these ?IMG_5180.jpg

I've stripped, replated and used heat shrink tubing on several sets with good results. Unfortunately your cable is damaged so replacement is in your future.

These have resided on my shelf for some time. Don't know where they came from. Need some TLC.

Hi Jim - those look nice. I'll try to do the same. After plating did you push the cable all the way through one of the holes then slip the tubing on, shrink it then pull it back into position ?

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks Jim and Joe. I restored the cables I got from Joe and am now good to go. My Caswell's plating set-up works OK but the parts are a little blotchy. I am fine with it though. The heat shrink tubing worked well. IMG_5293.jpg
