Re: Seat Belt Suggestion

["lumina333" <lumina3@xxxx>]

Dave, the man at the shoe shop did a fantastic job; he could see the 
original stitch lines in the webbing and restitched the belts with 
coordinating colored thread and pattern. It really looked 
professional when completed and the judges in the SE Regional car 
show never noticed the difference. As for them being "furry"...do you 
mean the webbing is raveling or the ends are ruff? If it is the 
belts, use a fabric shaver to trim off the fuzz. If it is the ends, 
trim the furry parts off level across the belt. Place the belt in a 
book (one you don't care about)with the end sticking out and use a 
lighter to melt the ends. Don't let the belt catch on fire 
though...Luinda
