I spoke to Securon about replacement belts for my Sportshatch, because a new Securon belt with adjustable mounting angle is under £30 on eBay, far less than I can get the originals refurbished for. Unfortunately, as David said, the stalk is very long, and although they have a shorter one, they won't "mix and match" between kits unless they've specifically tested the combination. Being seat belts, I can't say I fault them on this. Unless you change the mounting point, that would lead to the fastening being in an unsuitable place when wearing the belt.
There is a build thread on here where someone has used a Securon belt, but that's on an earlier two-door car that doesn't have the mountings in the rear quarters, so the retractor is mounted on the bottom of the B pillar just behind the seat. I think that's led to the Securon web site listing a specific belt for all HC models, which isn't quite correct. They did say they were going to update the site, I haven't seen whether they have done or not.
