Brad,
In my opinion your chances of reduced injury and survival after most types
of accidents in a T-Series are greatly enhanced by wearing a simple lap type
seatbelt. Worry less! Install and wear seatbelts in your T!

Subject: Seatbelts?
T-Listers,
Is there a concensus about the addition of seatbelts to a T? I have heard of
people that insisted on adding seatbelts when they purchased their T new and
I
have also heard advovates of the 'I'd rather be thrown clear' school (a la..
James Dean). My concerns are the fragile nature of the car compromising the
benefits of seatbelts, the effectiveness of seatbelts and the welfare of
myself and my passengers.
What have other people done? Has anyone survived a wreck in a T? If so, what
did they have and how did it work? Finally, can anyone recommend a
particular
type of seatbelt.

PS: While I am concerned about safety, I am not interested in adding a
rollbar
and cage.
PPS: No, I don't drive it very fast. I just worry....
