depends if he really does have the correct webbing, I may send over a set and see what he does with them.

I started installing a set I just recieved last week. The webbing is hands down better than what I sent in but is not as heavy as oem material as you might expect. Mine was a combo of sun bleached, dry and or redied originals. He also stitched in new lables with the correct code/dates, lightly buffed the deluxe buckles, fabricated the center rear belt set with my hardware and returned them with newly plated floor bolts....in 10 days. I spent $135 (not $600) and couldn't be happier. Those who know my car also know I am pretty picky. I guess it boils down to how deep your pockets are and with car prices dropping like a rock, I am happy with an alternitive. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

hey Pat how about a Macro shot of the webbing?, is it real glossy? seems some of the stuff has to much gloss/shean to it?

Tried to post pics but they must be too large. The webbing is a bit shiny but can anybody remember how shiny they actually were in the day? I will try to post pics later. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
Try putting the new belts in the dishwasher a few times to dull down the webbing.
Wrap the metals with ziploc bags & a rubberband.
After the <u>wash</u> cycle,turn off the dishwasher & let them sit.
Let the detergent cut into the webbing awhile.
I recommend any granulated detergent...

Sam, thanks for posting the pics I sent to you. They are not for a 1000pt car but not shabby either. I also want to mention that Charles Stuart(West Dakota Parts) also included new GM buttons on the buckles and reworked the retractable belts with covers I provided. His # is 307-684-9297 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
