Default 1966 Green Interior - Seatbelt color...

Does someone have a picture handy of their seatbelts. Need one from a green interior car (1966 Mosport green car with green interior). I am returning mine to the correct green and am having Ssnake-Oyl do the seat belts but they provided me two examples of 'green'. I thought they would know which is correct . Anyway, if someone has a decent picture, I would be most appreciative.....

, and Ssnake-Oyl started life doing Shelby Mustang seat belts, so they would not know much about Corvettes anyway.

This is my 65, but I believe they are similar?
Dark green leather interior. The seat belts looks a bit darker in person than they appear in the picture.

Thank you all. I was a bit surprised that Ssnake-Oyl did not just say...'this' is the color. Perhaps I should have gone somewhere else....

sent you an email.

just checking adams book and see there were running changes to seat belts in 65/retainers and cups... and then again in late 66 to 67 style belts.

page 258 in the 65 section and again in the 66 section reference is made to late 66 changes.... if that nuance is important to you.

the green belts I have are three panel with irving chute labels and correct model number, retainers have the cup for retractors but no retractors.

I don't know if this helps. I think I read in Adams book around vin 15,000 and up, 66 cars started showing 67 seatbelts. My car, 8983, has the 65/early 66 belts.
