<VV> Seat Belts

Hi everyone,

 

I'm starting to compile what I hope to be a final list of stuff to complete
the re-assembly of my 66 'vert. This is the second of what will likely be a
number of questions over the next few weeks.

 

In going through my "stash 'o' stuff" I realized that my seat belts have
badly rusted ends and buckles. Oddly enough the belt material looks to be in
quite good shape.

 

I can make 4 good ends out of what I have but the 4 buckle parts are all
badly corroded. Here's the catch - I'm looking for a set of 1966 Canadian
seat buckles if at all possible. They have writing on the back that makes
reference to "Dominion (??? I can't read ???) Toronto, Ontario". These are
the standard buckles, the ones with the V shape moulded into the plastic
buckle.

 

Also, does anybody know of a place that does seat belt work, in other words,
somebody I could take the hardware to and have them make new belts?  

 

Thanks,

Bob

No guarantee they have the Canadian parts but they do high quality work.
Also talk with Kent Sullivan regarding Canadian deluxe belts.
