Default Where do you guys get your spare seat belt buckles?
The ‘male’ piece to use when using a harness at the track?

Right now I just pull the factory belt around the seat back and click it in. Later I might take some scrap metal and cut a hole in it. Too lazy to go to the junkyard.

You can also have your seat belt sensors "disabled" electronically - that's what I did.

Is that a DIY? I assume jumping some wires and such?

Nah, you need one of these:


You disable it in your car's computer so that it doesn't even check the seatbelt sensors. Your mechanic/dealer should be able to do it.

Auto body shop. Any car that is totaled. And fits. Mine comes from a Hyundai's believe it or not.

Maybe when Mike and I meet up at ORP or T-hill I might grab his spare buckle.
