Bought driver side belt from MB dealer, 1985 500SL. Paid around $600 for it in Norway. Passenger side not available.

 

I also bought my driver's side belt from the dealer - $625. MB is very proud of them. At least, the replacement had a plastic protector at the seat attachment that keeps it out of the door barely visible in photo).

 

There's a place here in Oz that does new ones in different colours. Not a fly by night outfit.They are way less than $600 per side but use the existing metal parts.This means a delay ofcourse but if you draw a blank over there PM me and I'll look for the web contact- I have all the colour samples but it's dropped lower down on my "to do" list.

 

Check the EPC for part number then the on line dealers.

 

I also need to replace my seat belts this co sad on the web site they can put new webbing for 50.00 I have sent them a email. to find out if they will do 107.

SEATBELT SOLUTIONS

 

Just hired out my re-webbing to "Seatbelt Planet" in OKC. My originals were chewed about halfway through -- not safe. The new ones are really nice. I paid $130 per belt.

Since SLs look so good, the company blogged about it here:

(mod's edit:The blog page for the SL style belts no longer exists, the link has been changed to their home page.)

Highly recommended from a safety standpoint. Here's one way to look at it:

It's great to see another specialty vendor embracing these old cars. Did they give you any indication that they can repair more than just the webbing, i.e. the retractor mechanisms themselves?

 

That's great news. I'm one jam-up away from having both my car's belts rebuilt. Sometimes they free up on their own in minutes; other times it takes hours or days.

Aye, aye, Sir! :bowdown:

Actually, I'm a pretty extreme case of selfishness. Joined in 2008. Made my first post today. In the meantime, I've been sponging tons of knowledge out of here while gradually restoring the wife's 380SL. And I don't mean light stuff either. Just finished 3 months on my back under the car. Complete restoration of the suspension (front and rear), driveline and brakes. I can't believe how smooth these cars are when the rubber isn't rotten.

Next up . . . ACCII!!!

I promise I'll be better.

 

I don't have the www address but look for JC Whitney online. They have 3pt retractable replacement seat belt(s) for $95.00

Thanks for playing!
