I'm stumped! Looking for BENCH seat sleeves for seat belts.

NO JOY!

I'm looking for the hard plastic sleeves or shrouds that go around the seat belts from the bottom frame fastener, through a large rectangular hole in the rear bottom of the front BENCH seat. These sleeves hold the female buckles in convenient positions to make fastening the male part easy. They have several custom molded bends and are about 20" in length total. I did find a part #: Steere 26449 for the passenger side. Picture attached.

I'm thinking it never came as a separate part, only with the entire assembly as shown in the second picture. The good news is I found several good images of it from different directions.

(The straight common generic 12" ones available from many sources simply won't work, they're only about half the length of the OEM's)

Seems like eBay or the salvage yard would be the way to go.

I don't know if they can find a small part like that, but here are all the junk yards in one site with a search engine for parts:

Thanks, but most likely any used parts like that will be cracked/broken from age - just like mine.

I may try cutting and joining two of the short ones together will small pop rivets, then attempt to put the curves in them with a heat gun...

For mine, I wrap a cable around the bottom of the buck, and then attach the other end of the cable to a small rag. Then I stuff the rag between the seat and seat back, and it holds the buckle right where I want it to stay. Not sure if this would work for your setup, but it may be a temporary solution.

You know anybody with a 3D printer?
