Grisezd Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Boring stuff, seatbelts. Mine don’t catch when pulled away from the chest quickly. I assume they should, or I’m hitting the windshield. Anybody rebuild the mechanism? ‘78 BRAT. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironworkerboomer Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I pulled all the slack out sprayed the bejeezis out of the roller mechanization with contact cleaner then worked the belt in and out put a few drops of tri flow lube and they put started working again. These were the jump seat belts and they were basically froze when I started. Hope this works as well for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grisezd Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Thanks for checking in. I haven’t tried it yet. I think there’s hope as I’m starting to get a catch here and there early in the belt’s travel. That said I’ve found that new universal fit belts are available, will probably go that route. Thanks though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
