[Healeys] Seat belts

[Oudesluys]

Forget the lap belt for safety reasons. The retractable 3-point 
harnesses are fairly comfortable and safe. However the non retractable 
ones are safer if used properly, i.e. adjusted tight. If you go that 
route also consider 4- or 5-point harnesses as used in racing. Much safer.
The problem with not  retractable belts is that some switches, handles 
etc. may not be reached unless you unbuckle.
