Apparently there was a good writeup on 66/67 fisher seatbelts last month that I was referred to by a seat belt resto guy. I'm trying to figure something out. If anyone has access and can snag the article; it'd be appreciated.

It's not worth 40 bucks and a membership to find out; I don't own a Pontiac.

 

Have you considered posting on a Pontiac site?

Smoke Signals doesn't cost $40 anyway; neither does Wild About Cars.

 

The membership costs forty dollars, if there's a better way to get the magazine, let me know.

 

Find your own way, Bud.

 

Hah, you know, the original version of the reply I wrote to you said:

"The membership costs forty dollars; why are your posts always contentious and worthless?" or words to a similar effect.

I should've left it unedited.

 

Thanks for saving me the trouble of posting your contentious whine. :thumbsup:

 

As entertaining as this may be, I just wanted you to know that I did search the internet for you...and I'm an expert at that. No dice. Plenty of sample issues of previous years but none from this year that I could find.

Thanks, 70.

Diego, I think you are missing the point.

 

Um, no.

You should just let it go at this point.

 

It's like I have my own resident troll. Are you going to crap up this site just like you used to crap up ROP? The door to this thread is the same place you came in, kindly see yourself out, and don't bother replying to any posts of mine again, Diego.

For the rest of the enthusiasts, the point of the thread was I was trying to get an answer to a question I posed in the linked thread, here.

Got an answer in there (thanks, Steve) that tends to agree with what I believe. I bought some belts that had an out of focus closeup, and they have a bead blasted cover. The other belts I have have a brushed cover, and I need to check the ones on the actual car, which is in another town, still. I believe I may have been fed some serious bullshed, as per Octania's definition, when the vendor claimed that 66's are brushed finish, and 67's are bead blasted satin.

However, the covers seem to be repop, and I can get the brushed covers at OPGI, I believe, and the bead blasted, of which these seem to be, are parts place parts, which have known inaccuracies. Vendor also pointed me at the pontiac article, subject of Diego's unwarranted and unwanted crusade, to which I sought a copy of without having to buy a year's subscription to the rag.

 

Someone has a hardon. Isn't it any wonder that I and others rarely post on ROP anymore?

(Yawn....)
