Chances are you'll never find one. No point getting the rear seats set up and running, you'll never fit anyone in them. Unless you take your cat for a spin.

repco can probably get them - had brand new seatbelts for my ke70, which is an 81.
or find someone wrecking one, or putting in a rollcage, since they wont need them

Will be heaps of compatable belts. Two pathways of choice- second hand, just scrounge the wreckers, or buy new.
If you go second hand and visit a wrecker, just make sure you know the approx length you need if we are talking a static belt, or look at the mounting points if its a recoil. Ive sourced belts from different cars, for different cars more times than I can recall. Back ones are generally more compatable accross the board than front for cars of that age since they generally are not recoil in the rear for early 80's
You will be able to get new from a belt specalist or similar, but expect to pay a little more $$$
IF it has the standard mounting points still in it you wont need to cert the belts, or get a mechanic to put them in, anyone can do that.
I have to disagree with AE, depending on the age, for a wof, cars from 1979, with rear seats, need rear belts. Dont give out advice like 'dont bother' when its required by law to comply.

I was talking about the specific original, tri-mesh woven, poly-corseil strap with the two peice, lightweight, alloy clip and 3/4 pillar mounted restraint. Conclusive with a steel, spring loaded, dual-way action coil. Individual to the Lisse XL model AE85's.

Thanks for your interest.
