55 vette seat belts

[Don S.]

I know that seat belts in 55,s are not required for judging and there is no deduct if you have them. I have a set but I need new webbing. The chrome buckles are great. Is it just a matter of ordering new webbing?? and how much should I order (big guy --or big gut). Or do I have to send them away.

Most local shops will NOT sew due to liability concerns. Send out.

You might check cost of buying new as well. The set I bought for my '55 very reasonable.

Hi Don,
I'm sure you've probably seen the ads for Ssnake-Oyl in the Driveline issues over the years. Haven't ever dealt with them, but there should be stuff in the archives. They'll probably have a booth in the swap meet at Orlando this January if you want to check out their products there.
