Some seat belts don't use a centrifugal catch to lock; the ones on my 78
Fairmont had a little pendulum that would lock the belts if it flopped too
far one way (as in hard braking, hard accelleration, etc.)
That being said, I've no idea how the TR6 belts are supposed to work. I
put static belts in my TR4 anyway, so I *know* I'm not going anywhere in a
crash ;-)
