ruckycharms Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 My red 521 came with black belts to match the black seat. Quote Link to comment
ruckycharms Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks Wayne! That leaves me to wonder which colour came with white seat belts... :confused: Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 The red one is actually a black latch painted red. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 They are dated so maybe the whites are on 70 and earlier or 70 only? Quote Link to comment
ruckycharms Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 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...

ruckycharms Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment
