pfenlon Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Just fitting set of seat belts to my TR250 and wish to buy a pair of seat belt guides for my MX5 seats that fit to the headrest. There are a plethora of these available on Ebay but which ones dont rub your neck and are in the right position? Help appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MilesA Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 (edited) Hi Pete I fitted these to the headrest legs of the MX5 seats in my TR6. Mine are brushed aluminium (other finishes are available), secured by a grub screw. They are very secure, you determine the position suitable for where the belt is placed at the rear and ease of use; they are nowhere near my neck. As you say there are a plethora of them on eBay sold as being vehicle-specific. I simply checked the diameter of the hole and bought the most competitive available. Cannot remember which supplier I am afraid (somewhere in Scotland?) but very efficient and responsive as one came without its grub screw.

Nigel A Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 (edited) I have just purchased these after trying various methods over the last few years I did use the Aluminium ones but found they were causing the seat belts to fray slightly so removed them. Hopefully these will be the last ones I have to try. Off on my hols so will fit them in a few weeks when I return so will report back then.

Z320 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Hi, I use these, made from a friend for Mercedes R107, special edition of 4 units for MX5 seats in TRs. He doesn't make any of them anymore, but you can borrow his idea and DIY Ciao, Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They seem both well engineered to avoid moving and impacting the seated people in the event of a collision as well as being good to look at. Unfortunately my skills aren’t up to copying them.
