EmTee Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I'm not surprised that you found a new washer pump pickup strainer. They were used by GM for many years across all of the brands and models. Those Italian horns look bella! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes looking I found several strainer for sale (in America, because here in France there is no sale ^^)Thank you , this horn was mounted in France at the passage to the mine in 1969 to be at the French standard. So I do not have the original horn , but the family likes it so it's ok When she arrived in France, there were modifications to make it French, and I would like to put it back to the original as it should be.So I do not have the original seatbelt and the original exterior mirrors.What mirror model was fitted to my Electra 69 ?As well as belts ? 20 hours ago, Smartin said: There are new ones available at most restoration parts suppliers now. 👍 Yes it's true, it's a good thing !

RivNut Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Seat belts in 69 (and surrounding years) are corporate GM seat belts. A friend of mine has some from a 70 Buick 4 door that he told me he would give to you. They are brown in color. Here's what the buckles look like. The top row shows the end that bolts to the floor. The bottom row shows what you see on the seats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I talked to him and he asked me if you were in a big hurry, The car with the seat belts is at his uncle's farm, a long ways from him. He will not be able to get the seat belts for a couple of months. If you can wait that long, he will get them for you. If you need seat belts sooner, you will need to look some other places. I will ask him to contact you directly through a personal message, not through the public forum.
