Seat belt saga
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2012 5:50 am
I posted here a few months ago about seatbelts and got a lot of answers, all pro seatbelts. With that in mind, I decided I wanted something cool looking like Vietnam Helicopter seatbelts since I was in an assault helicopter co. in Nam. Looked all over the internet and found some on ebay and other places but big $$ and not sure of the integrity of the belts since they are old. I got a reply from someone here about what they did, racing belts. I looked them up and found Wesco Performance. I called and ordered 3" custom length in OD (they said I couldn't get green but OD was available). Wesco orders from a company in Michigan. I got the belts about 4 days later, opened the box, OD 2" belts, called Wesco to check, yep I ordered 3" and order confirmed. Call back from Wesco, no OD in 3" but I could get other colors. I ordered (Black), UPS picked up old belts and had the new order with them, opened the box which had Black printed on it, belts were RED. Refused the shippment and called Wesco, now waiting for another set to arrive. Wesco's customer service is really great, nice ladies to talk to and very concerned and return calls promptly but, not so sure about their supplier. Hope the next shipment is correct color and length. Wait and see.
