[DeTomaso] seat belt reel

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

i think that the easiest and most economical solution would be to just
replace the whole assembly with Jeep units.  As a bonus you get dark black
webbing that looks better and isn't 40 years old in case you actually need
it to save your life.

firewall. Mine is missing the spring AND the little inertia-weight doo-dad
that causes it to latch under braking. Does anyone have any suggestions
where to pick up this reel? I will probably call the vendors and see if they
have a used one, and then replace mine and repair the seatbelt.
