[MadMango]

I'm looking for the industry name for the plastic button that is snapped into the webbing of a seatbelt to limit the adjustment or travel of the tension fitting.

I just had to give you a star for that one.

Thank you Greg! I guess not "everyone" knew that term.

Patents... yes, that seems to be all I can find. I'm looking for a supplier, only about 3,500-4,000 annual useage. Any leads?

Well, they're absurdly expensive here:

but maybe they'll be cheaper in volume. Couldn't seem to find another store.

Considered making your own? It's not a safety item, so I would think a couple of discs of plastic and a pop rivet gun would work for such a low volume... that's the manual labor of installing 20/day, 5 days a week. Though appearance may be an issue for you...
