Seat belt remanufacture?

Posted By : Colin Lindsay, 28-May-2005, 09:36pm

I've just tried a set of the Club static seatbelts in the MK1 GT6 and to be honest I find the large female side of the catch very obtrusive; when secured it digs into my leg and gets in the way of raising or lowering the driver's seat. My old belts had excellent buckles and brackets but the webbing was starting to fray; does anyone know of a company who could replace the webbing leaving the belts looking as factory original, possibly even using my own original Stanpart buckles?

Pete Copesstick's been recommended to me in the past. I'll try and dig out his contact details for you - it's a bit late now and I'm off to Gaydon in the morning,
Cheers,
Bill.

    Thanks Jason; they came up on my search as well.. was on their Quickfit website over the weekend prior to starting this thread but it's being revamped so I sent an e-mail. It looks like the sort of thing I require so hopefully they can deliver. The only other ones who featured were on the MG Owners club website but I got bored scrolling down through millions of MG restorers trying to find them...

      Hi Colin - Did you have any luck with the remanufacture of your seatbelts? I would like to do same with my Stag belts to preserve the original fittings

        Guys
        
        I used Quick Fit years ago to re web a Spitfire belt. I took the original belts in and they put new webbing on them. It was a very good service and about the same price as a new belt, if I remember correctly.
        
        I would definitely use them again.
        
        Regards
        Mike

        Thanks Mike - I have sent them an email asking whether they still refurbish belts

        I used them in late 2001 just before I emigrated.
        
        They replaced the dreadful Secruron front inertia belts in my Vitesse and fitted rear belts also.
        
        Excellent work, I would certainly recommend this "survivor from the 60's" company.
        
        Great people to deal with.
