Seat Belts
Were is the best place to find replacement seat belts for an 87 F150. I looked at LMC but they are not very descriptive on what eactly you are getting. Or does anyone have a part number.
Thanks

I found this in my cyberspace travels:
seat belt plus
I am interested too. My passenger belt sometimes does not retract.

I'd never, NEVER use a junkyard seatbelt as a replacement. You don't know if it's been in an accident and the belt stretched to nearly it's limits or not.
The universal ones out there do a great job, if you're not a purist. Even if they are made overseas, they MUST meet Federal safety specifications before being allowed here in the states.

hahaha unless the retractor is messed up or the belt has a frayed place in it... its safe to use.... it takes alot to break one unless ur some 500 pound tubby hitting a block wall at 150mph.... and if thats the case then ur gunna have more to worry about than the seat belt breaking

exactly what is wrong with the current ones? the retract mechanism? don't stick when clicked? the inertia stop? ..
you can get new webbing and have a 'sail-maker' (or any one with a HD sewing machine) 'restring' the old ones ..

sb webbing is one of the strongest, most stable cloth materials you can get .. kevlar is the only thing I can think of that'll out do it in strength and durability

Automotive seatbelts have a stretch (elongation) factor approx. 5%. I know because I have had to design and build a test gage for Chrysler in the past so they could batch test them.
Hey, like I said earlier...it's your life, not mine.
