Can these still be bought new?

I know you can still buy new seat belts from the dealers, think you would have to ask if there are early ones as well.

GFS do them for £35 each but they're not genuine. Scrap yard next stop!

I'd never use belts from a scrap car as you just don't know if they will work in the event of a crash due to the fact that you just have no idea of what they have been through and also possible corrossion due to sitting in damp conditions, so the locking mechanism may not work therefore rendering them useless.

Good point - I'll give them a good check over - I do have a particular car in mind.
