I'm going to send my belts to SafetyRestore for re-webbing, but first I need to refresh the hardware. Anyone know what finish is used on the chrome(ish) retainers (on the right below)? I can't tell if it is a low level chrome plating or bright zinc. I think chrome which I can have done relatively local.
Also, the tags are missing from my belts. I want to replace so the re-webbers can sew them in. Before I follow the route this guy on the Bird did, doesn't anyone know of a source for reproductions?

Thanks Tom (or should I say... Mr. Moderator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )
Poor terminology on "low level chrome." What I meant was industrial chrome as opposed to triple plated. The finish looks much closer to that to me. I may have a couple leads on seat belt labels I found just now on the Early 911S Registry forum. I emailed the Pelican person to see if he had files he is willing to share. If not, it isn't an easy process and requires chasing down fonts and a lot of tweaking. I was thinking the same thing on sticker colors. The darker ones are from Carbone but others sell similar. What got me curious was that the orange and yellow triangles is on the Aase Sales site and they claim, "Proper color, best production out there"in the description. Carbone lists their stickers for 72-73 911/914 belts and Aase just claims for 72-73 911. I like Carbone's price a lot better. I wondered if the triangle sticker was placed somewhere they quickly fell off and were lost. I have seen them before but that doesn't mean much. I'm confused by something though. Why do you say these stickers get sun faded? You mean my bleached peach buttons aren't factory fresh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
