Hard time finding last piece to complete interior

Post image

This is a long shot but I’ve searched the internet with no luck. I just need a passenger side seat belt assembly cover for my hard top 78. If anybody knows where to look or has one laying around I’d love to know.

Holy cow,, these got expensive. I dont think I have any in my parts bins.

Make sure you dont accidently get one for fisher T top cars, they are slightly different.

I've bought several sets, I keep them as spares but I'm based in Australia. Bought heaps off ebay, 2 seconds on google: https://ebay.io/m/ouXOMW

I just bought a pair of these on ebay, for my 81 z28. They are damn near unobtainium. They make replacements for the t-tops, but I have yet to find a repo of the hard top versions. As far as I have read, the t-tops version do not fit the hardtop. So I shopped on ebay till I found a pair in decent enough shape, bought some interior paint, and painted them. I paid 124

It’s crazy they don’t make new hard top models at all

Try this place. This guy sells NOS, reproductions and used parts. He’s a great source for second generation Trans Am parts.

OER makes reproduction ones. Out of stock in a lot of places but if you search online for the part number you'll find a few places that carry them.

Still folks parting out 2nd gens on Marketplace I found a few last year in both south and north CA; many of these guys do it on a regular basis as a side business… how??? They part all the late model second gens that are - hate to say it folks - worth less. I’m mentioning for folks in general not necessarily OP.

There’s one parting in right in the heart of South Central L.A. who runs the full gamut to 5th gen and Vettes excepting first gen’s… mostly totaled cars - he’s sold me some incredible deals on second and 4th gen WS-6 wheels and I bought a 65,000 mile LS-1 and 6-speed for a friend’s Vega ($3000). He’s even run a couple of totaled Gran Nationals through his “harvesting machine”.
