Seatbelt Latch Other Uses

[6PACKRAT]

I used seatbelt latches for door latches on my model A doors. Here's some pictures.

Just last night I wondered if they would work as suicide door latches.Thanks for posting those pictures.[P[

I need something as a stop to keep the doors from swinging too far open. I saw one guy had used a short length of the seatbelt bolted to the jamb and the door which kept it from going too far. Bet it was a lot cheaper than the hard-to-come-by original steel and rubber parts--IF you can find them.

THe seatbelts will work for the door straps.When you cut them heat up a small socket with a torch and burn the holes in them .They will not ravel out.You could use a old leather belt for straps. Just an idea.

This one was on a Jeep.

This Jeep was built by (and still belongs to) one of my old High School buds. He built the entire tub himself, by hand, from scratch.[ It was a total rustbucket when he bought it.... It is, in fact, one "COOLJEEP." It's even more beautiful in person than the photos show.

He also has a second one he built, it's just not "quite" as fancy.

Funny (and cool) seeing a pic of an Ontario car here.
