Well, I am a Spit owner, but lets say its in a *slightly* less than
driveable condition at the moment to say the least!
May I suggest you find another source and don't look for'stock/original'.
I remember the seatbelts in the pile junk called 'my car' and they look
pretty much exactly the same as my Midget one...whiich need replacing,
hence the thought of pirating them from the Spit. If immediate safety is
your concern...go with an inertial reel set out of JC Whitney about $90 I
think...then take it easy while looking for original types. VB/Moss etc
flog replacement inertial reels and belts for Midgets....if they look the same
use 'em on the Spit!!
