Default Looking for 81 seatbelts

Slowly upgrading the interior, yes I have googled but the prices are nuts! Anyone have a recommendation and or could recommend me to a place I could check out without spending crazy money? Just thought I would ask! Thanks!

Well, for starters you could put an ad in the forsale/wanted to buy forum.
And you could google Corvette salvage yards. Get some good used ones.

I mean ....pretty sure you could buy that same belting if you did an ebay search ...and just replace it yourself (getting the right strong thread to sew the ends). That's going to take some 'work' though. Maybe real work bc the seat belt retractor unit frame is kind of stamped together I believe. Probably not worth screwing with.

When you say Crazy prices ...what are you seeing?

Do these match?
