Bob, many people seem happy with the Securon belts that most of the suppliers
sell. I was not for a number of reasons and was led to Kai Radicke of Wishbone
Classics that had researched and compiled a set of belts that suited me
better. They cost a few dollars more but they spool, they look right and the
ends fit into the seat belt parkers.
Here's a note I posted to the list last year on this topic:

Subject: [6pack] Pictures and demo video of Kai's seat belts
A couple of people were interested in how the seat belts from Kai Radicke
looked when they are installed. I took a few pictures and my wife shot a
video
of the belts in operation. Apologies for the poor quality of the audio/video,
it was shot using my phone, must get a video camera one of these days...

The only picture that might need a bit of explanation is this one showing the
plastic cover that goes over the upper wheel arch attachment point. I found
that the end of the cover was interfering with the way the belt moved through
the metal loop so I removed about < of an inch from the end of the cover
using
a hacksaw (images shows the cut area circled in red and this is the picture
after the surgery) and now the belt moves freely through the top loop. The
cover still clips to the bolt and looks fine.

Should also mention that the seats are Miata of course and the belt spooler
on
the wheel arch is well clear of the roll bar so no issues there.
There may be other/different/better/cheaper solutions out there, these worked
for me.

Hi All:
Time to replace my old worn out seat belts in my 76 TR6. Any one have
recommendations (good & bad) for replacements.
