<VV> What to do with old Corvair seat belts? Fun!

[Bill Hubbell]

I hear this all the time.  How is driving a 40 year old car with no air
bags, no collapsible steering column, no dual master brake cylinder, no
shoulder harnesses, no head rests, and no antilock brakes made any more safe
by replacing the seat belt webbing?  How often should seat belt webbing be
replaced, anyway?  According to some of the stuff I have read it is only
good for two years.  If that is true, then most of the cars in the US
probably have defective seat belts.

Who makes up this stuff?

Hey I finally figured out what to do with old seat belts. Ones that you  
would never use because of old webbing. (Note - if you have original belts
in  
your Corvair, you are on borowed time!) Take the male buckle portion of the
belt 
and cut it off to about 18-20 inches. Punch a hole near the cut off point  
and use a wire tie to attach it to one of the seat mounting brackets on the

drivers left side. Then hang the seat belt out of the drivers door about 5  
inches out of the door. Don't let it hang out too much or it might bang on
the 
body. Then go ahead and drive your Corvair around - make sure you have  your
real 
seat belt fastened, though! - Have Fun!  Say hello to the cop for  me! -
Seth
