Hello. I wondered if anyone knew of a shop in Canada that will restore/refurbish a set of 69 seatbelts? Would like to get new webbing and retractors replaced and rebuilt. All locations seem to be in the U.S. and would like to try to avoid because of shipping costs, duty and exchange rate. If not, any recommendations for new 1969 specific belts from a company that they were pleased with and would recommend? Thanks and take care.
Question Seat Belts
- Thread starter mbp
- Start date
I looked at having my seatbelts re-webbed and refurbished about 6 years ago. However, I struggled to find a place that would do it. I think due to the liability issues you may have a hard time finding someone to do it.
In the end I decided to just get new seat belts as the new ones are 7-9 web making them far stronger than the 3 web original belts. In addition they also have thicker mounting plates.
I got mine through Corvette Depot. I got the economy belts instead of the premium. The economy are $300 cheaper and have stronger 7 weave instead of the 3 weave. The only downside is they aren't switchable retractors so there is no automatic lock.
Could you share pictures of them once your car is back. I am debating sending my date coded 70 belts to Seatbelt City or Snakeoil in the US for rebuilding. Exact match as original, same webbing.
Will do!
I have a couple photos here from back in 2017 when I first got the seat belts. I will upload some better photos once I get my car back.
In addition to my post above, the shoulder belts do not have automatic locks and are not switchable but the lower lap belt is an automatic lock just like factory.

I sent my '78 retractor belts to an outfit in Florida a few years ago, who's name escapes me right now. Don't think it was Snakeoyl. Ill see if I can find it. MAY have been SeatbeltSolutions.
Swapped the red belts for grey, worked and looked like new.
If 78 shoulder retractors will work in your car, I have one (possibly two, I forget) that I'd sell. No belting on it, but it works and is complete. Have latches as well.
Hit me up if your interested.
EDIT: yep it was S. Solutions w ww.seatbeltsolutions.com
