Seat belt question
 
Hello everyone,

The seat belts on my 88 GTA are destroyed. I called Classic Industries and inquired about their aftermarket ones. They informed me the retractor plastic that I have on the car would need to be modified in order to get them to fit. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried them and has any info or opinions on them, since there seem to be no other options than looking for used ones. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Depending on the color you can still buy them NOS for about $139 each. I just replaced the gray belts in my 87 IROC

Thanks, I looked on their site but didn't see the color I needed.

I found a place out of Missouri that had aftermarket insides for your belts, that also was selling NOS belts. He was on flea bay, and I've used him for a couple of things. He might have some, or you might just buy some used ones and replace with new covers and new buttons that you can get all over (its not that hard either). I've done both. Good luck!

modern day muscle or hawks have NOS. Hawks if you call them also have alot of parts cars depending on how nice you want to go in the end.

Also there are a lot of companies that will rebuild them for you. You can get from stock to wild colors (you know you want neon green belts LOL) if you get them re-webbed. Modern belts will jam up in almost any accident so an industry has emerged where they rework them and put new webbing in.

What color are you looking for?

Thanks I will try to call Hawks. What companies rebuild them? The issue seems to be more at the shoulder level where they wont retract. Just pull them and they sit there.

Neon green sounds tempting, but I think I'd stick to the tan/beechwood interior, lol!

(not recommendation just examples)

Search around you may find one local to you. Yours is probably a gummed up or warn out spring.
