Re: cops and seat belts WTF

I bought new seat belts for my wagon, they took 4 months and don't fit very well. There is only 1 supplier so it's Klippan or nothing. lots of suppliers, you just have to find them, try seat belt solutions in WA to rebuild weird belts, make you fancy coloured ones or fix genuine Galant retractables...
