southpaw52 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Andrew, I'm not sure of the year these are for but the retractors, hardware, buckles etc are all here and in good shape. You might want to buy new belt fabric depending on your vehicle color, but that isn't a problem. Let me know if you're interested, or if you want more pictures. Thanks, Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychostang Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hi Anne. I'm going to try and find original 1965 belts, as I want the car to look correct. I will keep you in mind, if my search proves fruitless. Thanks for responding. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpaw52 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Andrew, I understand completely. What do the original '65 buckles look like? You might check with this outfit if you can't find them somewhere else. I've done business with him, he's easy to work with. http://www.cmwauto.com/MainMenu/InteriorMenu/Seatbelts/seatbelts.htm Edited January 2, 2019 by southpaw52 add info on retailer (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DualQuadDave Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I have a set of black front 65 retracable belts if you can use those as cores to re-web. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojo65 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I just sent my seat belts and retractors to Ssnake Oyl for a quote to refurbish, including new webbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loren@65GS.com Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) The retractor assembly is common to all Buick models for '65. As are the chrome buckle assembly. The Riviera used the same seat belt assemblies as a Skylark with the exception that the Riviera retractor sat on a special stamped steel adaptor to fit the inside door sill shape of the Riviera. It also had a separate plastic cover for that adaptor piece. The plastic cover for the retractor is re- popped in black only. All the chrome hardware pieces are also re-popped. So the difficult part to come up with would be the special adaptor plate and the plastic cover for it. Snake oil can re-web the hardware in almost any color, but be prepared with a nitro pill for the cost. lol You might have luck trying Bob Wambach. I got a set from him about a year ago. He sells on eBay as bm455. His phone is 414-405-8020 Loren Edited September 25, 2020 by Loren@65GS.com added information (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychostang Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Loren. Thanks for the infor for Bob. You would think that with over 34k Rivieras made for 1965, that there would be a decent amount of complete seatbelt assemblies around. It is that extra bracket and cover, that makes it difficult to find a complete set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loren@65GS.com Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Andrew, You are welcome. Another possibility might be Carmen Faso. I know he has first gen parts . His phone number is 716-693-4090. Good luck, Loren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andrew, I still have my eye out for the bits to complete a nice set for you...but so far nothing nice enough has surfaced. Tom Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
