availability of seatbelt webbing?

[DemostiX]

around here auto recyclers are the last place I'd look to for reasonable prices! they seem to think that everything they hold are "one of a kind" and prices reflect it! guess you could say..there's no love lost between me and junkyards

My grandfather and namesake made his living with a junk yard before they were auto-recycling plants, so I take exception. Supply and demand. There is no demand for seat-belts in or from cars and trucks: They never wear out. As we proponents of these commodities note: Find the most beat-up vehicle, and the seat-belts will likely be in fine condition, (washable spilled coffee and ketchup stains allowed.)

I've been to three auto-recyclers. Two of them offered me scissors or box-cutters, and pointed me to the available vehicles. One warned me about nesting-yellow jackets. I haven't even had to pay a premium to get an assortment of colors. Know how light the original VW Golf was? I've got belting from one. And dark maroon belting from an early Monte Carlo.
