Question: Was that your car in 5.0 Mustang magizine a 1 or 2 issues ago?

Haha, you're the only one that doesn't have a copy of that magazine, me, White, baglock, erich...we've all got copies. And we all brought them to Hooters the last time...except baglock I think.
 
Hey y'all, got two questions.

1. My seat belt no longer spools up. It just lays there on the seat when I get out. Anyway to fix this?

2. Was there ever an SVO Package available for SN95s? One of Brian's friend is looking at what the owners claims to be a 1998 SVO Mustang. I called :bs: on it, but I was just wondering if maybe there was such a thing.

1. Good question, my seatbelts do the same.

2. No there wasn't an official SVO like 84-86 but some people put the SVO side pipes and so forth on them.

1. You need a new seat belt retractor. It'll be under warranty. First, pull the seatbelt all the way out until it hits the stops. That might free it up if it's just got something jammed in it.

2. Never heard of this one, so I'd have to raise the :bs: and :flag: it with pride. :cheers:

I can tell the seat belt is twisted. I thought about unbolting it and trying to fix it, but it's quite a big bolt, and I don't think I have the right size screw driver to take it out.

Thanks for the info on the SVO. It's a very beautiful car, though. Bright Atlantic Blue, side exhaust, some other stuff. He claims it has about 240-250 HP. :shrug: Guess if he get's it we'll have to see it run. :flag: :cheers:

They're torx head bolts. I have the drivers if you want to pull it out and turn it around. But if it got twisted by itself, it should be able to untwist without unbolting it. That's usually easier said than done though. :rolleyes:

Yeah, very much easier said than done. I already tried streching it out and untewisting it, results suck either way. I hope the thing will still lock up if I need it too. :shrug: :shock:

Just bring it to your ford dealership for warranty work. The problem will be fixed and you will probably get a new retractor and seat belt out of it.
