If you're thinking about taking them apart anyway, why wouldn't a junkyard
provide yards of seatbelt strap material? To sew the ends after you cut
them, there are always alteration shops that could do it. If faded, a little
dye could do the trick. That's what I'm going to do with mine.
Just a thought....
