- Ok, no insult taken! You have a valid point. I'd change them if I thought they were that bad, maybe. Faded yes, I won't argue with you there. They are still strong though, and I'm not doing a frame u

- You probably want new webbing. When installing belts into my TD I discovered that the ones I purchased were a little bit too long. I took them to our local cobbler and had him shorten them. The mate

- It's not advisable to use any type of dye or coloring to seat belt material. Most times the carrier/solvent in the coloring can seriously weaken the fibers. Considering the age of your belts, it wou
