I have an MGB fitted with the original BMC Kangol fixed seatbelts (magnetic hook style). The plastic release latch on both are broken and I’m struggling to source replacements.

Does anybody know of somewhere that might sell these? They seem to have been commonly used across the entire BMC/Jag range for period.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I’ll checkout quickfit.

My aim was to retain the original buckles but have new webbing made for them so that the safety element was better (trying to keep the car as original as poss)

FTDS look promising for the refurb. I’ll give them a call next week (will let you know how I get on).

I’ve been trawling eBay for a few weeks now; sounds like I just need to be more patient. I’d managed to find that sticker company for the blue BMC logo.

I must say it’s my preference too for the car to have original seat belts. Once the webbing has been replaced I can’t see how they are any less safe than modern ones?
