Hi All,
I've been poking through all of the various seat belt threads and the technical manual stuff.
I am fairly certain the 3-point seat belts in my 280SL were never used and were tucked away between the seats. I extricated the belts today and found that both belts have been shredded in a few areas and are no longer usable. Additionally, the plastic "lift" pieces have been broken in a few places.
I am considering springing for some nice replacement 3-point belts that would be OEM in nature but want to entertain 'modern' 3-point options.
I was wondering if there is any known direct replacement for the belts that is completely bolt in (no welding). I would be willing to use a modern seat belt fastener.
It seems from reading the threads here that any retractable belts cause you to lose 1-2" of aft travel for the seats. This would be a deal breaker for me since I have the seat all the way back already!
