Seat belt extender for 300SD 126 chassis

Seat belt extender for circumferentially challenged -- 300SD

Problem: While the seatbelts fit me in my C230 and 240D, my girth presents a problem in my `81 300SD. The darn seatbelt is too tight (read, my gut is way too big).

Solution: Purchased a spare seatbelt from the local junk yard. Removed the seat belt assembly from my car. Went to a sail maker and asked if he could splice in a section from the junkyard belt. He said no problem and had one of his guys in his sail loft sew in a section.

Installed modified seat belt assembly in car: Comfort and safety at last.

I know I know, next step is to lose the weight
