It would be interesting to get a quote on the belts from Toyota - just as a base line. If they are retractables they should not need adjusting.
Just make sure they have a Australian ADR compliance tag on them and you can drop them in yourself INMO.
Cheers

if you want to find seat belts that fit the ma61. go to a toyota wreaker and find the belts off a RA65 or a SA63 for the rail on the front belts. i got mine for 20 for the drivers side off a sa63. but that was months ago.
I hope this would help

thanks i might look into it.
but i was after some nice shiny new ones 
i might be wrong but im sure i read in an rta document that using second hand seatbelts is illegal.

the belts which came from in my car were cars that are rusted and they were not in any form of accidents. they work better then the ones in the car. so choose wisely when finding the belt.
if there is no option go new. there is no compramise in safety.

Just a question, what is the point of that rail? I've seen a heap of Supras and Celicas but I've only seen one with the rail.
As for the aftermarket seatbelts, I don't think they needed any adjusting and fitted exactly where the old ones did because I took a broken one out and it was mounted just like a normal one.

the railing came on the later models on the celica's and supra's. the car came with the railing for the seat belt so i replace what has been broken without any modifications. i prefer keeping the car original as the car came out of the factory.
