I was wondering if anyone has attempted to replace the webbing on their seat belts? I have a set in Cinnabar and need to change the color to Black. I thought about using a dye but don't want to chance the dye bleeding back out on the clothes when ridding. I thought maybe get some black seat belt webbing and seeing if I could get it sewn locally at maybe a upholstery shop. Has anyone tried this and what complications/liability may I run into trying to get this done? Thanks :seeya

I just did a complete restoration on mine,, and tryed the dye with poor results. Belts became very stiff and this affected the retractors ability to work, then again, it could be just me, lololl. Surprisingly they are relatively easy to disasemble to replace the belt, and I had no trouble finding webbing localy. Check the archives, the subject was brought up not to long ago and somebody posted a link to a professional restoration shop.. good luck :seeya
