Review of Bluedevil Autoflug belts w/Pictures

[toddw]

I priced new Repa OEM belts and they were $250.00 per side. One night I found a post by Bluedevils for Autoflugs. The price was $400.00 for both sides including the rear belts with shipping. I instantly jumped on the deal. Al responds to emails quick and delivered rebuilt belts as promised. One of the nubs that holds a plastic part was worn off and Al kindly offered to replace complete retractor. Al is a stand up guy. If you are in the market for a complete belt package deal with Al, he stands behind his product.

i bought several parts from Al, super nice guy.

I had one seat belt mechanism broken, so instead of buying one complete one he offered me to send me just the necessary part to fix it, which he does...

Cool !!

my girlfriend got a set during 02 fest. Al even sweetened the deal by installing them at the show. taking the new set right out of his car and putting his "back up" in. in case he sold them at the show. what a nice guy.

Thank you guys for your kind words. I rebuild seat belts as a hobby. I don't really sell them to make a living, think of it is as a community service. Every set I *make* is for me, always think I will keep this set for myself, but you know how it goes. End up using el cheapo Chinese belts (highly modified by me of course) in my car. In the mean time, I am also please to inform you that in a joint effort with a famous FAQer, we will soon lunch a new seat belt line custom made for our little cars. Stay tuned. Prices will be reasonable, and all made with Euro parts. Options will be available for customizing seat belts for our *weird* bimmers such as cabrios, tourings, coupes, etc.

Hey Al. How about a retractable 3 point belt for the back seat??

[bluedevils]

Yes, it is in the planing stage. There are several ways to approach the problem, but it is doable, and some folks have done it already. The question is where to hang the d-bracket or hook, and location of the retractor. If the C pillar has the mounting hole for the d bracket, I know many cars have it, hidden behind the headliner, the retractor can be installed under the parcel shelf, inside the trunk with some angled brackets. Trim covers need to be installed on the top of the parcel shelf to help the webbing move freely. The other end of the webbing will be mounted on the existing holes designed for the original lap retractors. There are also factory holes closer to the b-pillar hidden under the rear door cards. The existing holes for the receiving loop latches will be used for the new receivers, although they need to be shorten and loops need to be replaced with flexible cable buckle receivers for a more modern and practical application.

If the C pillar doesn't have the mounting hole, a retractable 2-point shoulder belt can be designed as well, with the retractor mounted flat on the top of the parcel shelf, closer to C pillar. In fact, some 2002 cars had this option right out of the factory.

p.s. I have a set of very high quality 3-point retractable seat belts, made by Repa, and all the hardware for the rear conversion. If anybody would like to have a little adventure email me.

Excellent quality at a fair price.

If you can do belts for E9 coupes, there is a market there too.

[bluedevils]

Yes, I can *make* seat belts for E9 coupes, even for Bavaria, E12, e21, e30, no problem, but not for cars from e36 up because of airbag stuff.

[monty23psk]

I have an e30 and was hoping you can help me out. I sent you and email regarding this. I would like to rebuild my seats with a different webbing. Please let me know if you can help me out.

Thanks
