I have dug through some old tax files and I found the receipt.
This is for a GU II Wagon.
Part Number: 1600007 GRY
Description: Seat Belt 90/90 RH Light Grey
Price was $241.80 for the pair including delivery to Albury NSW.
The RH fit both driver and passenger side front. The 90/90 is the angle it is designed to work at. I asked for the light grey colour but I think they did have others.
@Patrol-Guy
Bill I just spoke with Seat safe. You are right. Very helpful. They even found your record of when you bought yours. Back in 2012. Unfortunately the price is not the same though. But thats expected...
For anyone reading this the part number I will be ordering is 114-7554, with a 165MM rigid buckle. Slightly short than the OEM one by about 20mm. Same as Bills but now a different part number. And different colour...
The other thing is the height adjuster will no longer be adjustable as it simply bolts directly into the pillar.
@BillsGU. Do you have a pic of the seat belt at the pillar section?
Mine is not height adjustable. It simply bolts to the pillar. Really nothing to see on a pic.
But how does it look? I'm a stickler for keeping things neat in the cab. I rang a local mob who fix seat belts. I told them the issue of the belt not retracting right and they just said the webbing is the issue and won't touch the retractor. Even after I told them that even new belts from nissan do this. They wouldn't listen. So I left it at that. I think I'll just not bother about this for a while now.
Sorry Mudski _ my mistake. Mine are height adjustable. The end of the belt just fits straight into the height adjuster. The only way you can tell it is not an OEM belt is that the buckle is slightly different to a Nissan one. As I said before, I have heard all the tales about webbing and cleaning, etc. None of them are the real problem and none of them work for long. The Nissan retracting mechanism is and always has been CRAP. The only way to fix it is with a replacement. As I am in Western Qld at the moment my ability to post photos is limited. I'll post one when I get home.

Righto. When I spoke with the girl at Seat Safe she said the height adjuster will no longer work. As it just bolts into the pillar. I'm ok will that, only if it looks real out of place I am not. When you get a change but a pic would be grouse. My Patrol is not a daily, for now so its no biggie. I'll bother you in a couple of weeks to give you a reminder if you like...
No worries Mudski. I've tried to take a pic and I hope you can see how it connects. I used the original bolts and the adjuster still works. Can't see why the new ones they supply would not do the same job.
Sorry for the quality of the pic - but it's dark outside, I am camped in the bush outside of Charleville Qld, I'm a bit pissed (it's been a long afternoon around the camp fire) and I am trying to watch the footy.

The girl at seat safe is helpful - but I think she may not know exactly how the belts fit. As I have already mentioned - she originally said mine would not fit either. @mudski

Does anyone know about front seat belts for a GU??
that link to the place in NSW doesnt stock belts for an 04 model.
Looks like I need to go OE, would anyone have a rough price for
a set of front belts for the front of my 5/04 3ltr auto???
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
I don't know about a price for new belts, but I did successfully wind up the spring in my driver's side belt retractor mechanism a few weeks ago.
Works much better retracting when removed now.
