where to buy seatbelts??

[l1ttle_d3vil]

I need some seatbelts for the KE.

Is there anywhere I can get them new at a decent price?
Or does anyone have hookups on them??!

Cheers

hmm, was quoted over $200 for the pair (front belts only), and that was on a trade account.

or is that good compared to most places?
i would pay it if i have to, but cheaper would be nicer

[Dell'Orto]

Shyte, really? I got my entire set for slightly less than twice that amount...perhaps prices have gone up.

[strx7]

that price would be right, remeber you are getting BRAND NEW belts.

[Lloyd]

Yeah, new belts aren't cheap. Try some wreckers or trademe?

[strx7]

we sell 2nd hand belts for $50-70 each

[Dell'Orto]

Dont know that I'd trust a drivers seatbelt from a wrecker though

[strx7]

if a car is parked on the side of the road, another car runs into it and writes it off, how is that seatbelt any less trust worthy than the seatbelt that you currently use in your car?

Or if the car is involved in a crash and the driver wasn't actually wearing their seatbelt - as is often the case even in this day and age. IF there is any doubts about a belts condition we wont sell it, likewise with anything else.

hmm, don't happen to have any ke25's sitting in your yard then do you?

[strx7]

nope haven't had one in there for at least 7 1/2 years

Yup, but how, out of all the piles of belts that wreckers seem to have, are you to know which one was in a stationary vehicle when crashed or not?

Matt - They're probably just a 90/90 type belt, which is reasonably generic. I'll have a look today and let you know.

[Dell'Orto]

Ok, so the most modern vehicle that shares the same belts with a KE25 are Mitsis, mostly Lancers and Emeraudes. Well, the rear belts of those vehicles are the same as the front of KE25's anyway.

ah very interesting, might have to go check out pick-a-part. any idea what year mitsis?

and the price of belts seem to have gone up since I last checked... latest quote as of this morning is $280, trade price

[Dell'Orto]

Sorta 88-92, there are quite a few different vehicles.

WHen a vehicle comes in it get sa stock number, various photos of the car are taken, ie: all 4 corners, engine bay, interior, any other 'interesting' features. Then all that info get loaded into the stock control program, when any part gets pulled off that vehicle it gets that stock number put on it which tracks it back to that vehicle. We have close to 30,000 parts in stock like this. Some 'wreckers' may play the game differently, but WE are right up there in the use of technology for our stock inventory.

Good to know, many wreckers arent that scrupulous.
