Front female seat buckles FOUND - delete

-Found these off another member here, thanks guys!

  I am looking for front female seat buckles w/ good condition plastic sheathes in red or black. If you have a pair, please send or post a picture, I would be willing to pay up to $30 shipped for the right ones.

An option if you cannot find them used is to check out Latemodelrestoration.com. They sell brand new sets of seat belts for Fox body Mustangs and they appear to be identical to the ones used in our Tbirds and Cougars.

Sweet! That's perfect, thanks for the link. I keep forgetting we have those handy cousin's the Mustangs to steal parts from.

Has anyone confirmed if these are a direct fit?  I need to re-do mine as well.  I'd prefer to get blue ones, but guess I can vinyl paint them if needed.

The issue with my belts is that all the platic covers and trim have completely disinigrated. They are still fully functional but I looked at the availability of the Mustang cataloged belts as a possible solution. They appear to be the same exact design and stuff like this was commonly interchanged with other Fox body cars. I have examined them pretty closely and I do not believe there will be issues fitting them. I guess someone will have to be the guinea pig to know for sure.

what was not mentioned in this thread was which type of seats you have(consolette or buckets)
im pretty sure when i was pulling these in the junkyard last year they were different for the drivers seat.
im also certain they said "tbird" on them as well.

just try to be sure before buying them.

Well, I have bucket seats with a full console, and mine are so disintegrated I don't see any lettering on them, so basically, whatever slides over and fits, works for me.

You can paint them black if you like. Let me know if you are interested and I'll take pictures of it this afternoon. If you contact me before 11 today I'm going to the junkyard today. I know there are red ones there or email me at mjames5@sbcglobal.net
