Is there a way to get some kind of discount on replacement seatbelts? It is 2007 and my old (1978) mgb seatbelts are a "real" experience to use! If I could get some help in replacing them, I would appreciate it. As it stands, I spend way too much time in "preparing the seatbelts" for a "ride" in the mgb. The single detriment to driving said mgb.
