    Best hardware supplier for seat belts

    Ok, so I got the orange REPA webbing (Thank you Dave !) and I need to remake my belts.
    (Mostly a safety issue.. I dont want to drive around with +40 year old fabrics).

    Q:
    Which supplier is best to supply me the belt hardware and will be shipping overseas ?
    thx, K

    Karim, do you not have any original hardware ? I assume you are using 3 point lap belts or are you using inertia reels. ?

    Dave, I do have the original hardware but not for rear seats.
    My 3 year old needs belts for her kid's seat, so I need to do it all new. I have 3 point lap belts front but need also 2 point lap belts on rear seats. (BTW I was able to find a kid's seat accepting modern 3 point as well as 2 point belts for vintage cars - Römer).

    On the original hardware some plastic elements are broken...therefore, the original seat belts and hardware are stored for the car's history. In the meantime, new hardware w new belts is planned. I do know some suppliers but curious other member's input.

    Dave, even if I reuse the old hardware, I dont have items for rear seats. And I dont want mix new rear's and old fronts.
    However, your idea gives me the thinking to put an ad to get 4 hardware from period belts and reuse them with my new fabric. thx.
    BTW, I allready secured 71 fabric tag to stitch on fabric.

    Karim, Dont go asking for Porsche parts for some reason the price of hardware has gone through the roof.

    Try these.http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifie...php?id=1406533

    Exactly the same as Porsche rears. Just remove the vw logo on the plastic.
    Then you have what you need. The old plastic adjusters are always broken on these old belts. Just get some 3 bar sliders on ebay to adjust. Job done.
