[6pack] TRF seatbelts?

[Robert Lang]

Hi,

The answer is - NO you cannot use the seat belt parking thingie with the 
new belts.

To me, it's the ONLY drawback to getting them. However, I put safety very 
high on my list (much higher than concours "correctness") and I'd rather 
have a safe belt that's 5 years old than a "correct" 30-year-old belt 
that'll do "whatever" in the event of a shunt.

FWIW, for the concours wannabes - VTR does not subtract points for 
replacement belts, at least they didn't when I tried judging a while back.

All that said - if someone came up with a seat belt parker thingie for the 
new belts (I think they're "Secure-On" brand), you could sell quite a few 
to TR6 owners that installed the new belts.

If you don't know what the seat belt parker thingie is, there was a black 
plastic thing (white plastic on some cars) secured to the inner sill where 
you could place the tab of the seat belt when not in use. It makes ingress 
/ egress easier and the seat belt tab won't get caught in the door on 
occasion if you park 'em.

regards,
rml
