72 Seat Belt Retractor problem

My retractors are rusted, and I can't get them working. The retractors are mounted under the seats, and I think they are the same style of belt/retractor for 72-77.

Does anyone know where I can get replacement retractors, that I can switch the existing original belts over to?

Thanks

Some of the early 72 are the same like 71 without the switch also.

Google Andover seat belts and under the Corvette section look for part #WSCR2.

Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like Andover is the way to go at $55 each, unless I find some used ones.

Contact CF member LYLE and see if he has any he can trade you. He restores them and made me a very good deal on a trade for my '72.

It's nice to have that annoying seatbelt warning buzzer and light work properly.

He even had his wife transfer my labels over to the restored belts.
