Default Seat belt parts

Nice parts John, just keep in mind the hardware had part number and manufacturer markings that were associated with the various time periods, as well as often dates on many. The style of hardware also varied through Cobra production. I don't pay a lot of attention to 289 cars, but know I have seen at least two configurations - most likely there are more, as I have seen at least 4 or 5 styles on survivor or pre-restoration 427 cars and some that early owners took off that are believed to be original. These different types (leather on male side or the other, different color leather, chrome and cad plated, detail shape variations in hardware, etc, etc) appears to be related to various batches of belts purchased over time and associated with chassis number range.
