Seat belt/harness

[Graham]

Quite like the idea of a harness type seat belt but from previous experience they can be a bit challenging for normal road use especially if you want to lean forward to improve your view when pulling out of a junction. Then I found this http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr5-6/interior/seat-belts-harnesses/harness-kit-road-use-3-point-retractor-bolt-mounting-black-sbh700black.htmlbut does anybody know if the inertia unit can be mounted on the wheel arch as per normal inertia reel seat belt or does it as I suspect have to be fitted directly behind the seat ? did have a look at the Securon web site but that didn't clarify the matter unfortunaley.

Graham,

 

I have 3-point (original) seatbelts in my TR4 (effectively

the same cockpit design of the TR3).

Although I don't like to feel 'restricted' when wearing a

seatbelt, I find the snug fit of the original-style 3-point

very comforting.

 

Each to his own - but inertia belts have their own down

side.

For it to work properly it would need mounting directly behind the seat.

And I'm quite sure that for proper operation in case of an accident there should be a suitable seat in combination with these belts.

Glad if anything I post is useful!

 

But Graham is right, a sixpoint harness should prevent you leaning forward. Only an inertia belt can do that,and keep you safe.

 

Risk analysis points towards the latter for road use, in favour of dealing with crossing traffic, never a problem where a six point should be used, motor sport.
