The forward dinette seat has short ones (albeit missing) but the rear one by the door needs much longer ones, so ones out of the back seats of cars are too short. I also need them for the davo. I already have the overhead ones to make the bunk part hang from the ceiling but not for the bottom part (it used to be the swivel chairs behind the driver floor plan originally anyway).

Not fussy about colors or anything, I just want to make it legal until I have the funds to buy new ones. Please let me know what you have. Zip is 92117.

Thanks all.

New ones run only about $15 a set, so it's hardly worth the effort to find / install used seat belts. I was surprised how cheap new (nice!) belts were when I started looking. My biggest problem was working around all the equipment under my davo (if there ever were stock mounting points, they weren't visible after all the mods the POs did on my rig).

Wasn't aware non-racing restraints were so cheap. Thanks!

Seatbeltpros.com is one of the sites I found, there are any others. Your choice of colors and latch styles as well.

That's exactly the site I was checking out. Big selection of lengths too.
