When I called Simpson a month ago to get some new belts, they were quoting 4
to 6 weeks!
I then ordered a new set of belts from Bell Motor Sports, Oakland, Ca (800
669 BELL) for about $100.
They would have re-webbed my old (Simpson) belts, but I was converting from
camlock to latch style (on occasions the Simpson camlock has failed to
release smartly, even tho well cleaned/lubricated, I cant see how a latch
style could ever fail to release).
5 days after I shipped Bell the old Simpson belts to use as a length
template, I received the new belts. According to the date label, they were
made in May 2002, no wonder they finished them so quickly, they have a time
machine!
I view Bell as a very handy resource, they have real people who will listen
to what you want and make the belts exactly how you want them. In
comparison, I found the Simpson catalog confusing and a conversation with
their human help person left me even more frustrated.
