Retractable seat belts
« on: January 19, 2013, 16:54:39 »
I would like to replace the three point belts in my newly acquired car with retractable ones. Can anyone recommend ones that fit the existing mounts?

Thanks,

Stephen

John,

He has probably seen you driving around in your car so much and enjoying it that it has convinced him to buy one ;D

Maybe you are right Garry. BTW, Placerville is pretty small town (population 10.3k) but has a large rural area that is covered by the same mail Zip Code. I have only seen one other local 280 SL, gold in color, on our roads since living here for the past 13 years so this would be a HUGE increase in the Pagoda population.
