new seat belts

is there any place that sells new grey seat belts? Or even like-new ones? I have tried several options including ebay but with very limited success. Thanks

I would recommend getttting some fourth gen front belts and putting them in. They look much nicer and little or no mods. I did it in mine and it turned out great.

Could you fill me in on how you installed the racing harness? I have been wanting to do that for awhile now since I am doing a color change on the interior. But I can not figure out a way to install them without having a roll bar or drag seats with the holes cut into them?


Thanks,
Dave

Check your laws before you go straight on harness. I know where I live cops can get ur car towed if you only have the harness. At least check it out before you get too far into the project

Also I would look at a scrap yard, seat belts are kinda a low-performance part. Wouldn't want to blow away money on just a belt. Scrapers sell them for next to nothing. I would have a look there, Also I believe Classic Industries has them.

They look even better if you throw one of those shoulder pads dillys on there

If you're gung ho on a harness tho. I would make sure you get a nice seat to go along with it

ya, i tried forever to get black seatbelts for my TA, finally found them, paid about 100 or so for them.. whole set. decent, or good quality, not sure which to say...

IF you want to do racing harness, like i do.. 4 or 5 point.. you need to have a roll cage, hands down. you try bolting them onto the ground, and if your in a wreck, you could end up badly injured. Also, if you wanting to do that, you mine as well get some racing seats, cuz if you don't, and the belts don't go thru the seat, they'll just probably slide off your shoulder and do jack crap for you.

Do a search on seatbelts and racing harnesses/belts

grey is the ONLY color that the dealer still sells. You could always go that route.
