seat belts

[rac]

Just had the 2nd mot advisory on my seat belts-webbing frayed- next time ?? was just wondering if anyone had fitted ones from a modern in theirs if so what sort of job was it and what out of? So called originals seem to be scarce/expensive and good 2nd hand ones even harder to find.
cheers Rob.

I bought a set from Paddocks about a year ago - boxed and new with the original centre binnacle......... but the belts and reels were unmarked no-name ones.

Here are three companies that refurb belts:

Haven't got around to getting mine refurbed yet, but talked to all three companies on the 'phone and they seem to know their stuff.

Mine are the current Securon type. They don't fit the Britax type centre latch in the centre console so you end up with two stalks sticking through instead of the neat and tidy original...

I bought these. They come with all the necessary hardware but as I said they don't fit nice and tidy like the originals

yes have seen those before Neil was hoping perhaps someone had fitted some neater ones from a modern perhaps

Robsport have some near as the originals.....

I have the securon ones in my Stag. They seem very tight to me and pretty uncomfortable. Unlike my modern. Robsport I think do original type.

They are quite awkward to use. They are also a bit far forward but at the price of nearly £150 for Britax ones I can live with these for now. They will be better than my forty year old Britax ones!

I removed the Securon aftermarket ones from the front of mine as they didn't hang on the b-post hooks and had uncomfortable stalks on the tunnel. Fitted OE type from Paddocks and I'm much happier with them.

I'm with DJT, I did the same. I know OE is more expensive, but well worth the extra, hang better, as the bishop said to the actress, and more comfortable.
