Seatbelt internal failure, serviceable? (1 Viewer)

[hooter]

'77 40.

Seatbelt wouldn't catch when pulled.

Dissection revealed this.

Is this internal plastic doo dad replaceable/serviceable? Hate to go to an aftermarket belt for a small bit o' plastic. Then again, safety of my passenger is pretty important.
Would like to keep it OEM

Thx

You could probably get some marine grade starboard or a cutting board. Use a pink dremel chainsaw sharpening bit to shape a new piece.

personally I never mess about with defective seatbelts I'd use aftermarket or anything else anyday rather than put myself or anyone else at risk, last time I changed my fj40 seatbelts I used the retractors out of a 2000 Toyota camry and swapped my belts onto them the retractors were a pretty close match to the fj40 ones

I used Seatbelt Planet in Oklahoma to replace my tensioners........kept a stock look as well!
