Default Braum seats

From what i have read, everyone is installing 2005 seat belts in the C5 with the Braums. Mine should be here in
2 weeks, having a tough time finding seat belts. Is there any way one can McGyver the stock seat belts in the
C5 with the Braums ? I have found nothing on this, yet.
any help be appreciated. I did read SuperToms install but he didn t mention really what he did.

I just did this with any old c6 seatbelt. Not sure what year. The one I used did have the elbow on the outboard end but it fit fine. I used the passenger side for the drivers side. There is a twist in the belt but it is not a big deal. I will sew the twist by the end so I won’t even notice it anymore. Some grinding needed and plainly evident where that needs to happen.

Thank you sir, i i have seen one of them before, but not the others, makes it pretty simple. I want to keep the seats on proper side, but finding 05 belts, it is easier to find hens teeth.
Thank you, appreciate this.
