Title: GT500KR Seat Belt Tags
Post by: Craner on May 10, 2023, 08:38:26 AM
In preparation for sending my seat belts out for restoration...inventorying all the pieces, stamping numbers and webbing fabric labels..

I noticed that the shoulder harness tags were
"Manufactured for Shelby- American", and the rest of the belt tags were "Manufactured for Ford"

Apparently the shoulder belt harness was a Shelby American design.

They are the only unique belts

Everything else is Mustang stuff

The shoulder harness were added at AO Smith as part of the Shelby conversion.The lap belts were added at Ford even though they had the Shelby push button emblems.
