Seatbelts and sunvisors

For seatbelts https://wescoperformance.stores.yahoo.net/resebe.html The roadster belts are the ones you want. Very close or slightly longer than the stock belts and they work very well and just bolt right in.

Your best bet with visors are to buy new ones. Personaly I removed mine and have no plans on replacing them as for me they were worthless. Didn't work well to block the sun and severly cut down on forward vison and were positioned perfectly that when approaching an intersection it would block out the traffic signal. I found that a simple ball cap did a better job of blocking the sun and protecting my nose from the sun.

sorry about digging up old stuff, but i knoooowwww people wanna know /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

So Stewart, when you say 'bolt right in' you mean I can just remove the old ones and bolt these new ones in? I just got mine in the mail today and I'm looking at them and the instructions and the hardware that came with them and the biggest thing that has me even remotely worried is the latch release part of the buckle. Did you use the one that came with the new belts or did you use the stock ones in the car? If you used the ones in the kit, did you have to do anything to them to make them bolt in correctly?
 
Yep its unbolt and then bolt the new ones in even the release part of the buckle.

Hardest part may be sliding the seat all the way forward to access the bolts and removing the wire that goes to the old buckle for the seat belt light if it's still there. You can just cut it or pull the trans. carpet up and disconect it.

It might take 30 minutes for the first one and 10 for the second one.
 
nice... looks like i'm gonna be having some fun this weekend :p
 
installation was a lot easier than I expected. It literally was a unbolt the old and bolt in the new operation with those belts. The belts aren't quite 'original' in appearance, but they're a million times better than the old frayed things I was using. The best part is they retract and extract smoothly all the time now! I no longer look like I'm trying to do something obscene to my car when I put the seat belt on or take it off! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
