GA seat belts

Hi, I need to replace the three rear seatbelts on my GA as they are corroded/ceased in one position... Any recommendations of where to purchase them? (Melbourne).
Also, the GA front seat belts are the original manual adjustable ones with the anchor point above the rear door. Has anyone changed these out for retractable type? I'm thinking it may be too awkward to install the reel above the rear window, and I doubt I can install on the pillar (presume early GA didn't have anchor point there). Thanks

The reel goes down on the floor at the b pillar. Runs up through another anchor point up the top of the b pillar. And then over the seat etc like a normal one :)

yes that's how I remember it on my GC, but the anchor point on my GA is about 6-9 inches back from the b pillar. may restrict access into rear seat, but i'll check it out, thanks

Well, Rare Spares have non-retractable seat belts that would fit (although obviously a newer style) for $91 lap, and $115 for each lap-sash belt. Seems a little expensive to me. I'll keep looking on ebay, but happy to receive any further suggestions others have for replacing them. Thanks!

Thanks Jason, they look great. I'll go for them if I want to replace the belts. I actually managed to partially dismantle the old belts and wire brush some corrosion away. The adjustment is still stiff but at least moving. Cheers

I bought a GB wrecker for spare parts which has much better rear seatbelts, so I'll use them.
