Personally if I'd an older car that i was really worried about bursting into flames I'd:

permanently fix the risky bit
Install an extinguisher system
Carry a small extinguisher and bail if that was insufficient

All coupled with dammed good insurance, in decreasing order of preference. Losing a loved car to fire would suck, but not as much as being badly injured trying vainly to put out a fire that was to far gone by the time I'd got out of my seat.

If the belt fabric is in good condition a wizard could rebuild the new reels with the old maroon belts, but good luck finding someone to do that.
