Re: retractable belts in 1600

[Richard Webb]

I'm using 120y retactable seat belts in my 1600 they bolt straight to the original holes, although my 1969 model had to be modified because they were too far back and would take your head off if you had a crash.   120y seatbelts are cheap, but make sure as with any retractable seat belts that they are put in straight or else you'll never be able to get them on (that annoying clicking)... let alone what happens in a crash....   If your seats hitting it maybe you can get more slimline ones (anyone else got ideas?)   rich ----- Original Message ----- From: Zac Campbell To: Ozdat Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 4:20 PM Subject: retractable belts in 1600 I know a few of you have done this - but how did you install the retractable bit at the base of the b-pillar with enough room to move the seat back a bit? especially if you have non-factory seats like I do. I had a look under the carpet with the idea of adding a new mount but the metal is kind of thin - could one weld a thick plate, thread it and would it be strong enough?   cheers, zac   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
