Seat belts were not required in the US until 1966 The only car I
ever saw made before 66 with seat belts back then was my 62 190Dc.

I remember when I was maybe 6 or 7yo one of my dad's friends had bought
one of those 50s Caddies with the huge fins, used, and came over to show

My father took flying lessons in 1950 where he discovered seat belts in the
airplanes. He thought that was a good idea, so bought four sets at the

After I got my 66 200D, I went out junkyard prowling and bought a set
of belts/shoulder harnesses and latches from a Volvo 245, then took
the dealer installed seat belt out and installed the shoulder/lap
belts with the latch on
The seat belt has a little plastic covered metal part that clicks into the
floor mounted gizmo it has broken.
I suspect the whle belt assy will need replacement. Was wondering if buying
a used belt is smart - it may have been stretched/stressed in an accident
or something.

Need to replace the driver's seat belt in my 91 3000D -

I have never heard of any problems with used belts. I sell them all the
time.

Howdy Gang,
The driver's seat belt on my '91 300D has a broken catch. It still works
but the catch could break more at any time I expect. It also gets caught and
tangled in the belt material at times. It looks like the whole belt assy will
have to be replaced and I am not sure where to
