That's great info on that company. When I was looking for a 3 point belt system for my Mach 1, I only found two, Seatbelt Planet and Seatbelt Solutions. I actually ordered through Wesco, but later found they are just a reseller for Seatbelt Solutions. The set I bought are somewhat factory appearing, but my issue with that product was as described, no free sliding buckle tang, which made for a messy looking belt as it never fully retracted, plus it kept locking up when trying to pull the belt out to buckle up.Snake-Oyl products out of Tyler Texas does a real nice seat belt restoration, I have used this company for all of my other cars seat belt restorations and plan to use them for my Mustang when I get to that point. They also sell pre-made three point replacement harnesses and can as I understand from the website make customer three point harnesses. I have never had them do anything custom yet but plan to see if they can for my Mustang. I would like a three point set up with factory looking buckles in that car if possible.
This is their website:

They have redone my OEM belts with re-chromed buckles rebuilt retractors and all new webbing and they made ID tags (GM thing) with the production date on them that matched what was left of my original tags and sewed them onto the webbing like originals.. They are not cheap but they did a great job, I was impressed with the quality.
For me, I'm not too worried about looks, but more a safe efficient belt system.
I do still have my original lap and shoulder belts, so I might contact Snake-Oyl for a quote to rebuild them, just to have on hand.
Thanks for the info.
