Seat belt transition 65 deluxe to 66 deluxe
« on: January 01, 2018, 07:04:32 AM »
What would be the approx date that the 65 deluxe belts were phased out and transitioned to 66 deluxe style
My car had 66 deluxe style belts when I purchased it but I am not sure if they are original to the car as the belt date tags were missing
Car is July 65 build SJ fastback
Thanks

I haven't ever seen '66 belts in a July '65 car.

Charles thank you
clarifies that they were changed out at some point by PO
I will stay with the set of 65 deluxe belts that I acquired from Phill B.

The labels should have date codes, usually dated by week of the year.
