BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Posting here as I still do not have sufficient privileges to log into the Classified area using the login I use for the forum and members area. - I must be doing something fundamentally wrong. Now to the point... For sale pair of NOS Securon full harness seat belts GB £ 70.00 the pair. I have two NOS boxed Securon 690A blue webbing four point fixing full harness seat belts for sale. They have a metal turn buckle with 5 slots to allow the use of an optional crutch strap (not included). The belts are e marked. Someone will know if these are suitable for track days etc - I do not. Fitting to the car is by quick release snap latches that attach to the included eye bolts. Price GB £ 70.00 the pair plus carriage. PM if interested - in the mean time I will try to work out how to post this ad in the classifieds. Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Peter. I tried to send this on a PM, but I could not I guess you need to clear out some old ones. Hi Peter. I could be interested in these as I have been considering going full harness for a while now. Only problem would be the rear center fixing, as I have no rollover bar. I believe Revingtons do a single bar which goes between the wheel arch tops for the purpose of securing seat belts like this, do you think that would match the fixings on your belts ? Cheers Bob.

The Revington and the Racetorations harness bars should be suitable for them. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drewmotty Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Be aware that Revington’s harness points sit a little outboard of the standard seat centres to take account of the fact that he (like me) preferres to fit the seats more parallel than the standard position which angles the seats out at the front. Racetorations seats are normally fitted at the original angle so I’m guessing that their anchor points will be further towards. The centre of the car in order to align them with the centres of the seats. It may be worth getting a tape measure out and asking some questions prior to ordering.

I thought it was wrong when I bought my roll bar from Revington as the harness points were outward of the seat centre line. Discussions with the company seemed to be that “it’ll be alright” It passes sctutineering tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 With my bucket seats parallel fore and aft in the car the anchor points line up well with the centre of the seats. I like to have the shoulder harnesses crossed and passed through the head restraint supports. I have slipped polythene tube over the supports to prevent any chaffing of the webbing and offset the adjusting buckle position on each belt to stop them rattling together.

Lebro Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) I beginning to think about making my own, can anyone put some photos of what i should be aiming for on here ? Interested in the pipe size, wall thickness etc. I have Racetorations seats by the way. Bob. Edited October 19, 2018 by Lebro Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Bob, They do look neat but I'm pretty sure 'turnbuckle' belts are not road legal. I say this as a consequence of an argument I had with an officious MOT inspector who failed my car for precisely this reason. He stated that to be road legal, they had to have a red button latch. I did some research looking at catalogues of belt suppliers and all the ones that stated 'road legal' had red button latches and all the turnbuckle items stated offroad/track use only. I have a dim memory that road legal belts can't have 3" shoulder straps either. This was some time ago and things may have changed but best to check for yourself.

Lebro Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hi Ragtag. Thank you for that. The lap & diagonal belts which I have replaced with these did not have a red button either, & they were new from the TR shop 5 years ago, & you lifted a chrome flap to release. Surely these regs would only apply if seat belts were a standard (obligatory) fitting in the car when new. The width of strap is no different to any other seat belt I have seen ? Bob.

Ian Vincent Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Bob, i suspect it’s a case of ‘no you don’t have to fit belts but if you do they have to be road legal’. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Back in the day lots of seat belts (Britax mainly) had chromed lift the flap buckles so no red dots on them. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roger murray-evans Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I'm pretty sure any rules regarding red buttons on seat belt releases don't retrospectively apply to vehicles 55+ years old.Likewise white front sidelight/indicator lenses, centre rear brake light etc. Roger M-E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
