I Was cleaning out a corner of the hangar the other day and came across a box filled with assorted pairs and pieces of military and civilian seatbelts mostly all in decent condition. Haven't had a chance to count them yet, and I will get some pictures soon. Just thought I'd put the word out there before I put them on ebay if anyone is interested. $50.00 for the lot. Also, if anyone is interested, I have a B-25 cockpit escape hatch for sale as well as two 150galUS Skyraider Drop Tanks, some Hawker Sea Fury main wheels, and two P-38 drop tanks (note, one is in need of serious repair, the other only minor repair). Let me know if anyone is interested.

How much are you thinking for the drop tanks?

$1200.00 each for the Skyraider drop tanks. I'm not sure yet about the P-38 tanks as they will require some work to make them serviceable again.

How does one determine if old setbelts are serviceable?

I heard you can crash them in a Honda, and if the Honda is totalled, the seat belts are good. But since they were used in a crash, you have to destroy them and test a new set.
