Installing 3 point belts into early model 02

In the discussion about installing late model belts into an early model car the author mentioned purchasing new belts. Anyone know where to get a set for a reasonable price?

Thanks, Mike

Suggestion on installing if you don't weld. The sheet metal where the belts should mount is too thin to tap and have the threads hold. Not having a welder or welding skills I took my dremel and cut a slot in the sheet metal that I was able to slide in a thicker piece of metal which I tapped. Used a small screw to hold that piece of metal in place. The bottom one was covered by carpet and the upper one with vinyl (on the piller) Made for a clean and solid install with no welding. Some use the old hole in the rear panel but then have the belt hanging in the way to use the back seat. I put the inertia belts in the back seat also. Good safety and convenience upgrade.
