1966 Rent a Racer Shelby Mustang original installed seat belts
« on: January 22, 2021, 03:44:38 PM »
I need some help PLEASE. I am looking for either a new reproduction or great condition set of seat belts for a 1966 Shelby Rent a Racer.  There is a used set on Ebay for 900 not in good shape as they are pitted with rusted top but the tags are in very good condition. These tags say that they are made by Cummings and sanders. Branda Performance sells a new reproduction set also for 900 but made by Ray Brown which Branda Performance says is correct. I need help as to who actually made these and does anyone out there know where I can get a complete set? Please call Ed at 267 566 3336. Thank you.

   Cummings and Sanders belts were NOT used in '66 GT350s. As has been mentioned , Ray Brown was used initially and Impact and American Safety were used later in that order. American Safety did not typically have chrome plated hardware.

So far, Thank you for the 3 responses. I need a lot of help following this web site. I kind of thought that I could respond individually to each of the three people who helped me answer the questions about the Rent a Racer seat belts. Please, anyone out there, I would really appreciate any help that I can get as to where I can obtain a set for my car. I am in the registry and own # 1616. I also am terrible on the computer as my wife does almost all of the looking up of info for me. I never got the hang of it and still have a flip phone. I will always accept and welcome phone calls as that is why I list my phone number. If you can help, I will try to get back to this web site or you may call me at 267 566 3336. Again, Thank you, Ed

I will ask Jesse at Shelby Parts to give you a call.  I think he has enough re-chromed original pieces on the shelf to make you a nice set.

   1616 would most likely have IMPACT belts with 1966 on them , not Ray Brown belts. I am not certain when the change was made. My "guess" would be in the 1,000-1,200 range , but that is purely a guess.
