If you are in the UK one issue to be aware of is that putting belts into a Spitfire makes the MoT test more difficult to pass. I considered adding belts to my '64 Spit but gave up on the plan when I discovered that the sills (inner and outer), and the floor pan are considered strutural on cars with belts. If you do not have belts in the car adding them will add these areas to the list of areas which must meet MoT standards. My 64 had more fiberglass than metal so that rule preventd me adding belts.
I never got used to driving without belts. My passangers certainly had to stay awake in that car as it was also built before they introduced "anti-burst" locks. The passanger door had a habit of opening while cornering!! Regards Neil Jamin wrote about lacking seat belts: <snip> I recently purchased a '68 MK3 sans seatbelts, I purchased the inertia reel type from VB and have found myself with questions. <snip> Are there any other things to think about in regards to locating the seatbelt? /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
