Harness with factory belts. Substitute buckle end.
Just got roll bar and harnesses in my RS and ran the OEM belt behind the seat to satisfy the belt alarm. Works fine but pokes me in the ribs because the belt end pulls up at a funny angle. So I took some measurements and laser cut a prototype in same thickness stainless steel. Works like a charm, and no poking in the ribs. Does any company make these?
Tiny burn out in corner caused by not having a lead in on prototype. But having my own laser, added lead ins and cut a few more after verifying the prototype worked.

Nice! There is someone who makes the little retainer tools and I thought they had a seat belt insert too, but I can't remember who it was or their name. I would think you would be able to sell any that you have pretty easy.

Got mine from a racer who built his SPB race car and didn't need the factory belts.

I've seen ones sold as bottle openers.

Just be aware that functional equivalents are plentiful on eBay and Amazon relatively low prices. So unless you can make these with some special look or feature it will be hard to charge much more. For example there are higher priced versions with bottle opener functionality.

I needed one for own use and could not find one. Laser cuts it out in seconds so no big deal.

I got a male end from a Jetta at a junkyard.

Amazon calls them "seat belt clips" and there are a , starting at about $6. Yours look like a cooler design, though, with the rolled over top part, but the $6 ones do the trick without the rib-poking, too.
