I just bought a set of seat belts from Crane Corvette with new correct webbing and NOS 810 buckles for my 1960.
The problem is one of the D rings fits very snug and makes it tough to insert and release. The other D ring is fine.
Both D rings are stamped with the correct 235 number. The D ring that doesn't insert well is 92 thousanths of an inch thick and the D ring that fits well is 75 thousands of an inch thick.
Was this much variation normal with these seat belt buckles ?
Will I have a problem if I ever PV this car with a D ring that is snug ?
I will probably try to exchange it but the belt will need to be resewn.
