[Spridgets] Inertia seat belt

[kgb at frontiernet.net]

I definitely agree with you on this issue. When I was forced to drive my TD down the side of a hill, rolling it four times, had I been stuck in place with a shoulder belt, I wouldn't be here today. With the 4" competition belts that had been installed in the car prior to my purchasing it in 1963, I was able to lean over and grab the floor, restricting injury to my left hip.

I find the inertial belts unsatisfactory for fast driving, as you can't 
stick yourself firmly in the seat.  I have a tendency to slide out (small 
butt).  The old lap belts were much better in this respect.
