There's a company that advertizes heavily in Hemmings Motor News that does just seat belts. There name was something like "Snake Oil Products" IIRC. If you want to replace your webbing, I'd check into them and see if they'll take your OEM parts and sew new webbing onto them. Otherwise, I think you'll have a hard time finding new ones that fit and work right. If you want to do this with late style belts, with the retractors, I'd remove the belts from the retractors and just send them the parts that are sewn on. Or contact them and find out what they prefer that you do. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
