    Still trying to work my way through a considerable "to-do" list on my new toy, and the current task is finding new plastic covers/shells for the seat belt buckles that the previous owner epoxied together when the clamshell clips broke.
    I can't find a part number for these, and a comprehensive google search has left me empty handed, if anyone knows the part number, and if these where a common part, eg a Fiat part, please let me know, as I don't think I can pass roadworthy with the belt buckle mechanism exposed.

    Ferrari calls those "safety belt" (Non-US) or "lap belt anchorage" (US). They get damaged easily when the seat is slid forward or aft, especially if the bolsters have flattened out over time (common). There is actually an elastic strap with a snap to hold this against the seat but I haven't found it to help much. The belt is only carried as an assembly--PN 61557200 for your US model. They are interchangeable left to right. Mine have the same issue and superglue has held up. I did replace one a few years ago and it was similar but had a prancing horse molded into it whereas my original didn't--not an issue for me, otherwise identical (sourced from Maranello Classic Parts in UK). The belt OEM is a German manufacturer called Klippan, not sure if the same receptacle was used on other makes, you might search Fiat, Mercedes-Benz, etc. Good luck with your hunt (and get used to hunting....)
