Hi All,

I have a question about compatibility of seat belts between years. I have a 1991 JDM with some questionable seat belts. My driver side belt is starting to fray and it is difficult to get the belt to lock by pulling on it. Basically it takes a lot of sharp pulls and it engages maybe once every 7 or 8 attempts. I'm not super confident in my chances of surviving an accident given this testing. I contacted Safety Restore to get my belts fixed, but unfortunately they don't work on seat belts older than 1996... go figure. Are the seat belts and mechanisms from a 91 LC the same as a 96 LC? Would the mechanisms be different between JDM and US Spec? Finally, if the mechanisms are not the same, is the mounting hardware the same to where I could purchase a system from a 96 cruiser and put it in my 91? I've got no airbags and have very little faith in my belts, so I'm trying to do whatever I can to save my a**. Thanks for the help!
