I purchased some seat belts for my speedster a couple of years ago and now I need some more. Any recommendations?

Hi Ross,

If you search for "Vintage Seatbelts" on something like Google, usually several seat belt companies should pop up -- you may recognize a past Company's name.

Thanks H.L. I just Googled seat belts and that didn't work. When I Googled Vintage seat belts the Andover company came up and that 's who I used. Thanks again.

If you just want modern style belts they can be found on ebay.

Bratton's antique ford parts has a very good deal on seat belts but they are only available in black. JC Whitney has 3 different lengths and several colors.

That's a great price @ Bratton's but I need the 60" length. Thanks for the info.

If you want another place to check out try Julianno's Interior Products. I believe they still carry seat belts in different colors and lengths, but I'm not sure what they still do since Bob Julliano died.

Im going to run Simpson racing seat belts in my car. They have a much more mechanical looks like they would be right for the A rather than the klunky plastic end covers.

They are a lot safer also.
The word "speedster" implies speed and high performance.
Seat belts should be better than stock type.

Julianno's in CT, they have hundreds of colors.

Ditto as spdway1 says. I believe the business is still going.

I got belts from seatbeltplanet.com.
They are actually the online retail outlet for Beam's, a manufacturer in Oklahoma City.
