What needs repair?
In climbing/caving, we used to take our webbing to a old-fashion shoe repair shop or canvas/boat-type cover maker to stitch up the nylon. Probably have to ensure you do NOT mention it's for an aircraft in this litigious world today.

Do you have a parachute jumping place nearby?
The riggers there should be able to do good repairs/modifications on seat belts, and should not turn you away if it's for an airplane...

Your local hot air balloon repair station would also have the materials, equipment, and expertise to do whatever you need.

harness's 'R US?
I forget where youse guys are...the Kootenay's?
I bought a roll of automotive seatbelt webbing at Surplus Herby's, and had the shoe repair guy next door stitch up a harness for our previous a/c. .....it seemed really tight and sturdy to my eye.
Maybe not a lot of stitchers around anymore, but don't forget the industrial supply houses ( Acklands?) that might deal with fall-protection harnesses, (although they usually get tossed), or the stock-car/racing shops.
Outfits that do big tarps for trucking or awnings for the sign business may also have industrial stitching machines, but that's getting a bit out of the seat belt field.
Then there's a lot of guys that do leather harness & saddles, or gear for the motorcycle industry.
good luck eh?
