Anyone make a nice vintage looking 3 point seat belt? I'm thinking chrome,not plastic looking,for a kustom truck.Must be 3 point,not lapbelts thanks in advance, Paul
you could make em out of leather to look like WWII aircraft harness not too difficult. tandyleather.com
Juliano's has been advertising a 3-point with a chrome lift latch in all the publications lately. I believe they're in the neighborhood of $130-150 each. I couldn't find a pic on their website.
There's a guy on Ebay that makes great looking ones. Lots of military-looking belts too! I think I found him by searching Vintage Seatbelts.
http://www.andoauto.com/SBL5.htm I went with these in my truck and am very happy with them. No plastic parts whatsover. I got the non retractable shoulder belts, it cost less than 100 bucks for a pair.
you guys are lucky over there, i am in australia, i want chrome lift latch non retractable 3 point but here in aust it needs the austrlaian safety standards logo on it.
Not the greatest example, but these looked great in my TR6... they also looked great in a friend's kustom pickup with the emblem replaced with something else. I forgot what he replaced it with. If you like 'em you can probably find a set cheaper and in much better shape on a British car site. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TRIUMPH-SPITFIRE-GT6-FACTORY-RETRACTING-SEAT-BELT_W0QQitemZ140282238199QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item140282238199&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A727%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
Swap out the new (or original) belts after rego. The advantage of having an American car is that they come with American belts.............even if I change my mind on the colour later on!
