Driver's side or passenger's side? Black, beige, maroon, or blue? Any one from a 77 through 85 should fit. I have a beige one, I'll have to check which side.

The link above is for Caribou imports. They have not been in business for a few years now, so don't expect a response. I put in these last year from JC Whitney http://www.jcwhitney.com/3-point-retrac ... 570y1971j1 . If that link doesn't work, just do a search on product # 29483G. They were simple to install, but on my 1971 Spider, since it only had lap belts, I used my roll bar as the mounting point for the shoulder retractor.

The belts on my '80 were worn and thin so I called both Vics and IAC to ask them about the replacement belts they show in their catalogs. The catalogs implied they would fit right in but after talking to them about it, I wasn't so sure.

I found a place on the interweb called Seatbelt Solutions in FL who said they could replace the webbing on my exsisting hardware for $200, so I took a chance and mailed off my belts to them this morning. I'll let you all know how they turn out. Anyone ever hear of them? (I guess I should have asked before I sent them.)

Had coffee yesterday at Tims (where else) and a fellow sat down with us and guess what he does... makes/repairs/ restores seatbelts.
I'll try and get the link

Highly recomended by the fellow that has helped me with building my engines.
