What's wrong with yours? If its just discoloration, you can paint them. I've done this many times with amazing results using SEM or Color Bond dye.

Re: Seat Belt Restoration

I just sent my parchment seat belts to Ssnake Oyl. I am missing the 4 boot covers that goes behind the back seat. Any color any amount would be appreciated.

Re: Seat Belt Restoration

I found pythonrestoration - they polish the buckle covers instead of paint them

I have used ssnakeoyl in the past & was unhappy with color match

Will let all know how they turn out after a couple month turnaround

Here's some examples

Anyone know what the plastic boot is on the one seatbelt circled in yellow ?

Only one of my belts has this & I do not know where I took it off at !

It's the passenger side blazer belt, I would say that's the hardest belt to find!! It goes with the small retractor, next hardest to find.

Re: Seat Belt Restoration

I had that on one of mine. Ask Ssnake- Oyl to install it on the other side. I thought it was to keep the belt from sliding down between the seat and the consul.

Re: Seat Belt Restoration

Harold, I lucked out and found my belt boots. If you do not find any you might look for some longer ones & cut them down. That is what pythonrestoration.com suggested I might do. I kinda like the look that they will actually cover the bolt head. Good luck. Thank goodness Blazer/Jimmies are worth so much because they are PITA !

$607 Took about 8 weeks.

Fronts are 105 each

Rears 80

Date code tags 10 each if you want them

That is with good core belts
