Bart,
When I needed a dash for my 1979 MGB and I thought I would never find one,
I finally, in desparation, posted an ad on the MGCars BBS in the Parts
Wanted section - got two offers in email, bought one, bought other great
parts from the other guy. Best thing I ever did for getting the rest of
the parts for my B. I also got some new seat belts out of a wrecked,
low-mileage show car! Try placing an add there. As to your other
questions, if the belts are not damaged and sun faded, I don't see why
they would be unsafe. Perhaps others would know more.
