Just a quick note of caution on buying second hand seat belts. I wouldn't recommend buying secondhand seat belts without knowing some history of the vehicle they came from. If they are late model belts it is quite likely that the vehicle has been in an accident. Seat belts can stretch and the stitchingcan be weakened if they are involved in a major accident when they restrain what may have become several thousand pounds owing to the decceleration forces involved. This could mean that if you have a major accident they could fail. In the UK most accident repairers after a head on impact will automatically replace the seat belts. If you do fit used belts at the very least renew the mounting hardware, bolts etc.
Its your face and your loved ones that could exit via the windshield if they fail, my truck has brand new UK spec three point belts fitted.
