I searched but I didn't find the answer I need...
I'm looking to buy some PE seat belts hardware for my future projects, I've never used them before so I'm not sure which ones are the best quality and value for the money. I've searched on HLJ and found the Model Factory Hiro (http://www.hlj.com/product/MFHP925) for $13, the Acustion (http://www.hlj.com/product/ACS8355) for $17, and SMS (http://www.hlj.com/product/SMSSM8122) also for about $17.
I am going to be using these harness sets for F1, rally and touring cars. Those of you who have had experience using some of these sets, which ones are easier to use and looks the best? How many seats can the MFH and Acustion do? (I know the SMS can do only 2 seats). Any where else offer a cheaper or better alternative than the ones I mentioned? I would also prefer to order these domestically if possible.
Thanks in advance for the help! Sorry for so many questions. :redface:

I bought some 3mm ribbon from the crafts store some time ago for 50 cents a roll that looks perfect for miniture seat belts. All I really need is the PE hardware. Problem is, they cost many times more than 50 cents. :(

not bad for 1/20 F1 but new AcuStion is better http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/catalog/product_info.php?currency=EUR&cPath=1_9_25_61&products_id=5526
This one is also good

Thanks for your help! I think I will get the set for Rally cars and the Acustion set. Will the Acustion set be accurate for GT cars (DTM, JGTC) as well?
edit: and also, how many seats can the Acustion set do?
Thanks again! :)

Acustion F1 set provides you with 2+2 sets (so 2 different looking buckles).
For 1/24 GT I would take KA big set or Reji or CM since they have a lot of decals even with JGTC sponsors. http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_6_21_62&products_id=4006
