Dave,
My comment is relative to the safety of the seatbelts. I would
NEVER just replace the webbing, because it may compromise the
operation of the seat belts.
I presume that the belts and hardware are at least 23 years old
now. I'm a safety nut, and use my seatbelt every time, and I would
rather feel better knowing that my seatbelt is gonna hold when I
need it.
Incidentally, I do have an address of a company in England where
I ordered two new seat belts for my Midget if you want to try that
route.

Dave, when I did my '68 several years ago, I had a local car
upolstry
shop put new webbing on the old hardware. Their stock webbing
matched
the original. I think they charged maybe $20. I also found that
they
had stock carpeting that was of better quality than delux Moss set
at
about the same price including installation!
