RE:seat belts

I know from there latest catalogue that Legendary Interior has new seats 
belts that work in  late 60's AMCs in 60 and 74 inch lengths.
The 60's inch length will work in late 60's Javelin and AMXs. I'm pretty 
sure they will work in most of the other late 60's early AMCs. Yes you paid 
good money, but like the man says , it's a safety issue . They are very 
close to the stock type AMC seat belts, only perhaps a little longer by a 
couple inches.LRDaum

I would be very concerned with comprising the strength of the
webbing. I
don't know about anyone else but restoration is one thing but the
safety
of my passengers is first in my mind. Also i'm sure someone has a
black
belt that you could get for free or at least a good price. Just my 2c

I'm with Wayne - materials age, especially things that are in the
weather & sunlight like seatbelts - even just lying around in
a warehouse since 1971 degrades simply from chemistry.

Watch a few crash tests on TV commercials and ask yourself if
you would prefer a New Seatbelt or a used one that is 35 years
old, while strapped in & slamming into a Hummer......... hmmmm

........ I'd definatly go with a NOS AMC since it's
'Original'......... [ ...... yeah ...... right . }
