Default key/seatbelt buzzer

Does anyone know where i can find a replacement for the seatbelt and key warning buzzer for a 79. It is a square box mounted on the right side of the fuse box. Ive looked online and am not having any luck....

Yeah the black, square box? I've been looking for one as well and have only ended up with about a half dozen I've collected at swap meets...none of which work.

I've suggested to Wilcox, he take these on and we exchanged some correspondence regarding the tone. I believe there is a mechanical device as well as electronic and its the mechanical that would be a challenge to reproduce as I recall. The sounds changed abit as well. 1977s are different than 1978 but not sure after that.

I doubt that will work for your 79. If you compare the original, you'll note that in addition to the four tabs that plug into the fuse box, there are two more tabs that connect to the wiring harness.
