I just posted on this two days ago. Mid America Vette has just started selling complete belt kits again. And unlike the other companies, '76 is included in their lineup. $299.99

I just bolted new MA seat belts on my '76. They look great and bolted right in and came with everything I needed. I don't know what the stock belts look like, but these look like factory to me; very nice.

Will the Mid-America 74-77 retractable seat belts (shoulder and lap) fit work with a 72?

No starting in 74 the coupes had a nut welded in the post near the T-Top for attachment of the shoulder belt.
