[Healeys] Seat belts for a 100

[HealeyRick]

Don't think there was ever a "factory" belt for Healeys, and certainly not for
the 100.  The Brits seemed to favor the "Britax" brand with a silver colored
pebbly web material available here: 
http://www.quickfitsbs.com/static_lap_straps_classic.php  U.S dealer belts
were made by Beam's Inc which is still around as seatbeltplanet.com.  Their
aircraft belts seem to be the originals in the 60s, but I'm not sure whether
they had belts available when the 100s were current.  If you decide to go with
something from seatbeltplanet contact Steve Pekrul at: 
stevepekrul at seatbeltplanet.com  He's their classic car guy and was more than
happy to work with me on a special order.  You can find BMC seat belt stickers
here:

MK1-/330507485406?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cf3c800de 
although I think even these are too late for the 100.  These are my best
guesses and
 I think are pretty accurate for the mid-late 60s Healeys, but could certainly
be wrong for the earlier models.
