Got quoted $520 to supply only the front two seatbelts for a VX Commodore. Surely there are some cheaper options for new belts that will pass ADR's?

I think I have a full set from a VS in a box in the other shed, when do you need them as the other shed is 2 hours away and I don't get there often

Sorry, not a VS
The set I have are from a VZ, stripped the car for engine and box

It's for a VX. The front belts are farked and I'd rather replace them BEFORE Mr Plod sees them. It's that time of year, remember.

Nothing a bit of a go with the lighter and a bit of colour won't fix?

Seriously unless it's a really nice car just fit some second hand ones. Unless it's something special to you it will probably be scrap metal in 10 years. I hope that I don't sound to harsh just telling it how it is, cheers Aaron

My hatch is running VZ seats and seat belts. I went to the local Bursons auto parts and purchased new Klipan (brand name) seat belts for around $100 each, they are made in Australia I believe and are supplied to O.E manufactures.

The place I went to said there was no listing in their Klippan book for a VX. I have since found them on APV's website. I shall now go elsewhere, thanks for the tip.

Vick,
If you want me to look for the used set I have let me know but I am not sure if I can get there before the 28th although Will try if you want them

Car they came from was stat right off, no physical damage, some electrical fire under bonnet so I don't think they were used or crashed in, had 76,000km

Cheers, Tom

Because I take safety very seriously, I am not interested in using second hand seatbelts.

I guarantee you will break well before any used seatbelt will...

The damage was only noticed after I drove the car. That's because I had to pull the seatbelt out a lot further than the owner. Whilst I agree with what you said rexy, the seatbelt won't get any better by ignoring the problem.

You should be able to get some Klippan or Hemco replacement belts surely, they're both ADR approved too.
