Re: Re: Tom Jennings, Re-webbed seat belts

[neprocap@xxxxxxx]

Tom, Where did you have your belts re-webbed? I was thinking about having them done for one of my SC/360 Hornet's. Was it done in original style webbing? I am working on restoring my 2 bbl SC/360 and I haven't been able to find any original red seat belts so I've decided to go the re-webbing route. Thanx.....Joe 

PS please post to the List because my email is not right. I've tried changing it and even had Frank involved but it just won't change to my new email address.
