SR5_83 Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 I have an 1983 SR5 Corolla Hardtop and wanted to see if anyone has a seatbelt for the driver side (left side in my case, USA). The interior is blue so that is the preferred color, but please send me if you have any. Also looking for interior door pull handles. Pictures attached. Thank you, I’m looking forward to getting this one the road soon. Quote
altezzaclub Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 ooh nice! I don't think I've seen a two-door here in Aussie. Do you want the seatbelt to work or just look good? A second-hand one will be 40years old, sun-damaged and wear-frazzled at the edges. If you have the mechanism, get new belts put on it. If you haven't got the mechanism, I can probably get one locally from the wrecker, although every time I go to buy something from the USA the freight costs a fortune! Quote

I’d like for it to work since it’ll be the driver belt. This one goes through the rear door panel so I believe the lift back models work as well. The previous owner wrapped the entire seat belt fabric in duct tape so I’m going to assume the mechanism isn’t working anymore. If it ends up costing an arm and a leg I’ll just buy from the dealer website, but anything helps! Quote
altezzaclub Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 Well, you check out your mechanism and see if it retracts, I'll get photos of the KE70 setup, but it will all be 4-door stuff here in Oz. Likely that Toyota used the same mechanisms, but the belt length will be longer in yours. Quote
parrot Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 It won't be available from Toyota. As mentioned, find a specialist who can refurbish the mechanism and replace the webbing. We have them in Australia so no doubt you will find someone over there. Quote
