I used Ssnake-Oyl in Texas to re-web my seatbelts in CF38690UO, but they
aren't cheap, take a while to do the job and I'm not sure the tension is
on my belts is quite right. If I had it to do over again, I might go
with the Securon belts.
As Ashford queried, I'd like to hear from some one who has actually
installed the Securon belts in their car for a report on how they feel
about them.

I'd echo Bob's remarks on this one. If you want belts in your car, put
new webbing on the existing hardware, even if you have the originals.
There are a number of outfits advertising in Hemmings that do this sort
of work.
