C3 Seatbelt Retractor Springs

[Robert D.]

I recently discovered both lap belt retractor springs, in my 73 project car, are broken. I've googled and ebay'd, but haven't had any luck locating any springs. Although the springs in the sholder belt retractors will work, that spring is not nearly as strong as what I need.

Outside of a restorer, are there any sources for the springs? I'll be in Carlisle poking around there on the 27th.

Lots of GM cars in the salvage yards have a spring that will work but must be wound in your plastic housing. Rear seats from old Caddys have nice seat belt parts. I will be at Carlisle. Bring your parts!
