I am thinking of replacing my faded old belts with
some simple static lap belts using eyebolt anchor
hooks. They are the "aviator"-style belts sold by
Andover Restraints.
Has anyone had any experience with these belts?

Alain, these are the belts I installed in my Herald 1200 sedan soon after I
got it (came with two mismatched, ex-junkyard special lap belt sets in front
and nothing in back). Actually, I went "one better" in the front, going with
the attached shoulder harness for the front seats. See the first picture at
_http://www.andoauto.com/seat_belts1.htm_
(http://www.andoauto.com/seat_belts1.htm) .
I purchased their hardware as well, including new eybolt anchors for the lap
portion of the front belts, and I've been very happy with the belts for the
better part of three years now.
If this is for your TR4A, chances are it already has the eyebolt anchors and
possibly even the bolt on the wheelarch for the shoulder part. If it's for
your TR6, I'm not as familiar with what holds the original belt in place, but
I'm sure Andover can supply any and all hardware you need.
