Hi,

I know this might have been asked before but I can't find the answer using the search function.

As the title can you please let me know if its legal to have harnesses instead of seat belts?

I know some sports cars have them as standard but I don't need the grief if I remove mine and MOT time need to put them back in.

also I know only some of the buckles are legal what ones are they.

Cheers

Daniel

fuzzy

as long as they have seat belt type buckles and are securely fixed your ok,or so they told me.

they are completly legal, but be aware that on a normall seat belt, the area for corrosion is 30cm around the mount point. if you fit harnesses its 30cm from EACH mount point and this will cover most of the floor and sill area.

not that you have rust but people are normally unaware of this fact!


its the same if the seatbelt stalk is fixed to the seat itself , the corrosion area is 30cm from EACH seat mount!

Mine had the aircraft type quick release ones and it passed fine

Mine passed sva with aircraft buckles so don't see why it would fail an mot.

they are fine, i would not fail a car with them in if fitted correctly

excellent so I can loose a bit more weight inertia reels and fill the holes in the rear doorcards when I get them flocked

I'll have to weld in some plates to re-enforce the mounting points.

Cheers for the info
