521 White Seatbelts and Black Seatbelts Anyone know?

[ruckycharms]

I have recently opted to change out my white seat belts for black in my 521. And they will soon be for sale. My question is, are the white seat belts less frequently seen than the black? What colour seat belts did red 521's come equipped with from factory Nissan? Any information you have would be appreciated gents,

 

thank you!

My red 521 came with black belts to match the black seat.

Thanks Wayne! That leaves me to wonder which colour came with white seat belts... :confused:

The white is more rare from what I've seen. All 3 of my 521's have black belts which would have been factory brown, light blue, green.

 

The belts are not interchangeable. I recently bought a set of white belts out of the red 521 seen below that also had a red seat.

 

Also there is a little spring loaded push pin on the underside of the latch so you can take the belt off the latch. It's not easy.

The red one is actually a black latch painted red.

They are dated so maybe the whites are on 70 and earlier or 70 only?

dang man you guys are awesome. Thank you so much! Yeah you may be right. My 521 is a 1969 and has white belts. Imma check the year on the back of the belts. Yeah the black ones I have are dated 1971. I know what you mean about them being hard to unlatch. Maybe just add some grease or WD40? I'll probable respray the black ones black again as much of the paint has chipped off. These belts are much better looking than the 620 belts IMO. But the 620 also had retractable ones later on...

dude, your 521 has door lock pulls! Mine doesnt. gotta use the key every time! :sneaky:

Wait, is that 521 in the junk yard?? Holy cow what a gold mine of parts! Steering wheel, package tray, floor mat etc..

just like you said dude, my belts are dated 1968! dang man, now I am having a hard time letting them go. They are actually slightly smaller than the later belts as you know, and in really good shape to boot!
