Seat Belt Restoration Belts
This project I really went out on a limb and decided to purchase a Consew 206RB-5 sewing machine. There commonly found in upholstery shops. My first task for the new shop tool was to resew the 66 Deluxe seat belts. I had a few hours of trial and error with the correct box and straight stitch that GM used on there original belts. Seen here below is the process I finally worked out where you used sewing grade double stick tape to hold the fold over together before you lay down the stitching. Final picture is a finished Buckle assembly with box stitch.
