Title: 68 seat belt latch disassembly
Post by: 68blue on March 11, 2012, 02:03:47 PM

Working on my belts, mainly a clean, paint, and dye job, but the vinyl that is laminated to the latch tops is bubbled up in a few places. Going to try to cammo this with a spatter texture, but in the event it doesn't work, how do these things come apart?  :shruggy:

The dimpled riveted ends are pressed together.  When I redid mine and powder coated them, I used a thin flat head screw driver and pried up on the one end of the rivet.  Be VERY CAREFUL as it is only a thin post on the end of the dimpled rivet and can break or snap off very easily.  Installation is just in the reverse order by pressing them back together.
