‘66 Ray Brown Seat Belts

[Bob Gaines]

It was also stated on this forum a while back that when hertz cars were sent back to be cleaned, the seat belts were removed,and there were a pile of seat belts to pick from that had already been cleaned and ready to be installed.

I am not sure that statement is accurate. It is at least not accurate for all 66 Hertz GT350's being readied for resale.

It may or may not be. Just something i read.

Back on topic with a bump:

I am looking for an original set of Ray Brown belts. My car is a February 1966 car so earlier the better. Thank you. Nick

As someone stated not all cars had the same matching pair. I have a pair of seat belts that were removed from a 66 in 1966 and placed in a box on a shelf since. One was Ray Brown and the other Impact.

When I bought 843 (Delivered to Hertz LA in Feb 66) it had 1 belt with chrome hardware and one with cad plated hardware. I didn't take note of the length of the hooks. I think they both had short hooks. Richard may know.
Ray Brown sold the company sometime in 1966. I think the change from Brown to Impact belts is car 1800-2000. Is there a car number listed in the judging standards for the cutoff.

I just saw this post. 6s843 had chrome and
short hook.

Bump. Thanks Shelby friends. Nick

This WTB is not for the scammers who have replied to me. You can take your BS somewhere else.

I think I can explain 2 different belts in the same car. SA did not control their parts on a first in first out basis, Stuff was put on the shelf in front of existing stock and pulled when needed,
There was probably 1 guy on each side of the car installing the brake duct and belts on his side. When he was low on seat belts the stock guy would grab a box and put on his side of the car. When the guy on the other side needed belts the guy brought another box with no regard as to finish - the part numbers were the same.
