Seat belts

My '69 Fasty needs new seat belts.... but if they don't have a sticker on the back saying AS2596 (complying with Australian Standards) then I can't use them. Where am I going to get original-style seatbelts that comply? None would have that sticker on them would they? They need to to pass Vic roadworthy, but I can't even be sure my Beetle has the sticker even though it was RWC a year ago. If you've bought original-style seatbelts for your classic veedub, do they have the sticker on them somewhere? If they do, where did you get them from because I want some! Also... if you've recently bought new seatbelts and they don't have the sticker on them anywhere, did they pass VicRoads RWC without a problem? Apparently, if your seatbelts used to have the sticker and it has worn off, you need new belts even though they originally complied. Police can pull you up and check (though they'd have to be a moron officer and having a crappy day to pick on something as useless as that...) I don't know what to do now, the seatbelts I want are made in US from cip1.com and wouldn't have the sticker... even if I find seatbelts from an Aussie VW supplier, they wouldn't probably have the sticker either... especially if they are Empi seatbelts which are made in US anyway. 🙁 [ Edited on 8/6/2006 by Pretty_Blue_Bug ]
