My lap belt portion of my 4 way seat belt harness has been a bit snug
since day one, 15 years ago, but with a recent bit of a weight gain it
has become an issue needing dealt with. I did a web search and ordered
an extender that seemed to be a workable solution. Picture very
deceiving . Wrong size buckle. After considerable searching I found an
A.D. on my belts from before my first flight. I'll include the A.D. at
the end of this post. So, I'm in the market for a set of belts, 4
point, individual shoulder straps not the Y connection. I'm not having
much success so if anyone can direct me to a supplier I'd appreciate
it. Price must be reasonable as I only expect them to function one time.
The "EON Corporation E8000" can be found by opening the buckle and
looking on the inside.

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA(Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 -
107CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVESRestraint Equipment AD/RES/11 Amdt 1 Eon Corporation E8000
Buckle Assemblies 8/87 Applicability: All Seat Belts. Requirement: 1.
Inspect all seat belts to determine if they have been manufactured by
the EON Corporation under TSO C22. These are to include all seat belts
supplied under an airframe manufacturers part number. 2. If the seat
belt assembly is an EON Corporation seat belt assembly, determine if an
E8000 buckle is fitted. If an E8000 buckle is fitted remove the seat
belt assembly and replace with another item approved in accordance with
ANO 108.42. 3. The seat belts removed in compliance with this Directive
are to be destroyed or have the TSO markings removed or totally
obliterated. Compliance: Prior to the issue of the next Maintenance
Release after 31 July 1987. Background: The original issue of this
Directive was raised as the result of the failure of an E8000 buckle
assy to release after an accident. However, the Directive targeted
safety harness model No. E2900-15 fitted with an EON E8000 buckle. This
Amendment follows a recent accident, where an E8000 released under
deceleration loads, and the issue of AD/RES/20 concerning model E6000
buckles which also released under deceleration loads
