Additional checking on my part today. One of the rear belts still has a tag
so I assume the front ones must have also had one at some point in time. I
checked with Aircraft Spruce today and they sell "FAA Certified Personal
Restraints" for about $ 35.00- $ 50.00 each. That's the route I'll go.

Thanks for your responses,
Steve

Just finished the annual inspection on my 1963 172 this afternoon. It was
the first time I had used this A+P to inspect my plane. I assisted and
things went smoothly. It's interesting that a "new" set of eyes can see
things that have been overlooked in the past. Anyway, the seat belts no
longer have "tags" that designate them approved. He said they must either
be
replaced or refurbished for the plane to be considered airworthy. Any
thoughts on who might recondition the belts? Do I have to spring for new
replacement ones?

Thanks,
Steve
