Adding lap belts

[BWillis]

I need to add some lap belts to the BE. Which supplier has the best looking ones for the BE? I want something that looks correct although the BE didn't come with belts.

Jack: What did you use?

 

[jlaird]

I used the Moss ones.

 

[BWillis]

Do you have a picture of the latches?

Moss vintage racing!

Ben, there were eye bolts in the back corners of the floors. Nice job PDO, saved some pain.

 

[healeyboz]

Moss belts that I have.

 

[jlaird]

The ones I have from Moss are red with chrome flip up connectors. Keep em rolled up behind the seats where they can not be seen.

Jack, that sounds like the ones I want. Do you remember what the part number was? I can't find them on their website.

Thanks,

Bah, I lied Ben, mine are black. Moss cat. page A12, Top left, Vintage style Seatbelts.

2-Point Belt, Long(38" adjustable clasp side, 30" tongue side) #222-235 $23.95

They role up nicely and hide behind the corners of the seats.

Most shows want you to have a fire extenguser, Moss has a chrome one, and a First Aid Kit as well.

That looks like what I want. Did they come with the mounting brackets for the floor? Are they just eyes or?

Ben

Here are a couple of options for red.

Ray,

That second link looks promising. I like the lift lever type and need black. I just need to decide between them and Moss.

Thanks guys!

Just comes with a bolt as I remember.

I got the vintage racing belts from Moss and love them. I get comments on them all the time, and most think they are original. They attach with eye bolts and clips.

the "vintage type" belts originally came out of military aircraft, I believe - I was told that a huey helicopter boneyard was the best place to find authentic units. Dunno if that's true. Not many helicopter junkyards around.

Summit has the good prices, too....

Word of caution - they look cool, but for those of us with "dunlop disease" (stomach's dun-lopped over da belt) the wider buckle can chaffe a bit.....
