Replacing rear seat belts

r44flyer · 29th October 2021, 11:20

Hello all...

The rear seat belts on our ZTT are getting a bit lethargic. They have spent years being threaded through child seats and I think a combination of slightly misshapen straps and/or a lazy recoil mechanism (?) Is slowing them down to the point they really need replacing to be fully safe.

I have tried cleaning them and spraying with silicone to their full length but it makes little improvement.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get replacements? Either OEM or generic ones that fit?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Jim

contact mickyboy a trader on the forum he can perhaps do you second hand ones.
Have you checked Rimmers web site for seat belts?

Pm Delmor on here, he had his seatbelts rewound and they were as good as new.

Thanks chaps. Rimmers do have them, but they're £175 each!

I will look into the rewinding suggestion!
