Default 69 Carpet Grommets???

I am looking for a pair of the rubber carpet grommets (I call them grommets, they are the pieces the lap belts come through next to the carpet sill plates)
I have not been able to find them in any catalogue, anyone know where I may be able to buy a pair?

thanx
Nick

They're not reproduced, and never have been. You'll have to scrounge around Corvette flea markets to find pair. Buy any color you find, as they can be vinyl spray dyed to match any carpet color.

Here's a picture.

Found one on at a Vette bone yard. Had to heat it up to reshape it. Only way.

I've got two. Still trying to decide if I want to use them with the Simpson harness. If not (I won't know 'til after Christmas) I'll gift them to one of you. They are black.
