I am looking for suggestions on replacement seat belts. I have a 1980 with retractable shoulder/lap belts and one of the buckles is broken. I don't need exact replacements, there is a lot of room for improvement. Anyone have experience with various brands? Thanks.

ok I know this is a little off of what most would do but in my truck I have 99 acura integra seat belts in it and it looks good and they work great I will see if I can find some pictures of mine.... all the work I had to to was weld a nut down at the bottom pics soon if i can find them you would need to replace the seat belt attatchment piece too

another option if it works for you is like what i did... when i put the Porsche seats in the clips in the luv wouldn’t work with the seats so i cut the clip out of the Porsche and took my retractable part to the upholsterer and hade them rewebbed in black with the new clips that fit the seats

how much did all that run you????
the integra seat belts work wonders for me they were cheap and I personally wont have to change any of the clips because I am putting Honda S2000 leather seats in since they are gorgeous

This seems like a sales pitch considering it is his one and only post...

I have 94-01 Acura Integra Black Front Seat belts in my LUV at the moment but I also have the rear ones too that I am going to see how they look in the truck I took some pics

let me know what you all think

This is the integra front seat belts which are my original choice but the others are smaller and little lighter

this is both the front and rear seat belts the top on is the front which is bigger and of course the bottom is the rear then
