Driver's seat belt receiver is NLA - anything else work?

[bcart1991]

My driver's seat belt receptacle on my '96 is dying fast, have to pry the button out with a screwdriver to get it to pop back up. The part is NLA from Toyotaland, and it's very scarce online anywhere, if at all.

100 Series doesn't work, the spade on the belt is too wide (lost the $25 bet on that one). Anyone know of other options? Are these things rebuildable? I could file down my current spade to fit...

I am not around for the next week or so with the wife's operation happening in the morning

Wrecking yards?
Vehicle part outs?

Don't really have time to spend hours driving all over Atlanta trying to find Cruisers in junkyards. The inventory system for most of them is sketchy anyway.

@slow95z is also in GA.

However, his wife is going through cancer treatments and issues right now.

He can take care of you, you'll just have to be patient as he takes care of his family first. He's a stand-up guy and regularly services our community.

If you need something faster, @arcteryx is in TX and can pull something and ship it to you. He is also a stand-up guy and services our community well.

I would use these guys first whenever possible before I would ever do Car-Part or salvage dealers.

You can check with Iron Pig Offroad in Fredericksburg Va. He probably has a used one on the shelf. (540) 361-7400

I read a restore thread on here and a guy sent it off to be rebuilt. a quick google search should provide quite a few options.
@slow95z hope everything goes smooth with your wife.

We are actually on the way home so if he still needs one I can get you one this week sent out.

I have one "on order", if that doesn't work out I will be in touch. Thanks.

Just an update (since I've gotten so many messages about this...)

The buckle was fine. When I had me new seats put in, the buckle was pressing against the little square cup holder on the console, enough that it causes the buckle mechanism to bind up. Bye-bye cup holder and it's all better.
