Seatbelt problem

[Paul Higg]

Well, thanks fellas. I have a new driver's seat belt on order from my Chevy dealer. I called several Vette parts suppliers and they were out of stock and even if they did have them in stock they would have cost $300! :bash

So I called my local Chevy dealer, went there, and now they are on order, I will see them in about three or four days, correct part number and color for GET THIS, NEW OEM, $96!

I WAS going to have to use a junk yard but most of the Vettes in a junk yard are from wrecked vehicles and the FSM is very specific that if you even get into a small crash to replace them. I have NO idea why they are in such short supply though. You would think a life or death part would be readily available. I mean, what was I supposed to use, rope?

Paul, Doesn't the entire interior, transmission and engine need to be replaced when changing seat belts?

Tony, 6 beers is way too much. The dealership gave me the parts when I did this on my 1988. No more than 2 beers per side.

Yup, and according to the FSM you also have to remove the muffler bearings.
