I've done it. Found Chrysler product belt hardware at a wreckers, took
measurements of the Spitfire's requirements then went to a seatbelt maker - for
the auto
racing industry.
They have the "exact" replacement material, know how to fasten it to
the
retractor mechanism, and stitch it with correct thread. They are 'street
legal', so
should be safe if ever needed.
