The webbing material should be available for these belts. Would it be unreasonable to measure and record the stitching pattern on the original belts and remake them yourself on the original hardware

The liability issue is there. I notice that some of the vendors, selling roll bars and other safety equipment, have disclaimers to try to deflect a possible suit. I don't know how much good that wou
