Default 1972 Seat Belt timer relay

Howdy fellas.
I'm looking for a Seat belt timer for my early production 1972 and Ebay searches turned up nothing.
Does anyone know of a modern replacement for this piece of unobtanium or any other voodoo to make something else work in its place, like a strategically formed wire coat hanger or paperclip?

These were only used in early production 72s (August 1971 to around December I think).


Part # 3961500

Here's a pic of what it looks like (copied from another thread / user).

Discontinued many years ago. If you bend the tangs back that hold the core in the tube you may see what is wrong with it and make a repair. If you do not trust your self then look for someone with the skill to inspect it.
