3 point seat belt options in a Bugeye

[tdskip]

Any been there / done that to pass along?

I got my first MG Midget when I was 16. My dad bought the 3-point seat belts available at that time. Similar to Moss 222-206 for reference. I really don't like them. They were non-retractable which meant they constantly needed to be adjusted and they never fit well and the shoulder belt always wanted to slide off my shoulder. I was constantly having to hike it up. Big hassle and I'm not sure they would have helped in a collision. In looking them up just now I saw that there are other newer versions available including retractable. One of the newer styles might work better.

Thanks Jack.

Where did you mount the shoulder belt, or did your car already have one?

I just mounted a retractable 3-point belt in my Mk2 and it works fine. It came from Vicky Brit and with the wheel arch bracket kit it runs a little over a hundred bux.

A Bugeye will need a mounting point welded in for the shoulder belt, yes?

You could just drill a hole a put a large heavy fender washer on the underside.
