Seat belts
To answer your question Billy,
I rang Hemco last Thursday and spoke to "Grahame".
I had already got my measurements ready for the belt lengths I needed and was prepared for a lengthy phone conversation to work out the right order numbers for the belts.
However, Grahame just asked what model car were the belts going into and how many selting positions I wanted belted up.
He looked up a catelogue or something and said for an FB/EK you need blah,blah and blah.
So I ordered blah,blah and blah and 3 days later blah,blah and blah was here.
haven't fitted them as yet though .

I can't think what to write here so this will do.
To my knowledge, Plane buckle style belts are not ADR approved, so passing them by any restraint or engineering authority, won't be allowed. Unless there are other Australian manufactures out there doing them.puddes wrote:Does anyone know of where one might start looking if they wanted the air plane style Trev was talking about?
PS - I also took NoMADs advice and rang STAMPS this arvo. They are currently running on about 4 weeks turnaround time compared to around 12 weeks if anyone is interested in heading their way.
There's nothing as Sweet as a EK V8
Exactly what I was told John, the test they fail was if you are hanging upside down in a wreck the "air plane" buckles they won't undo to let you escape, Trev .oldnek wrote:To my knowledge, Plane buckle style belts are not ADR approved, so passing them by any restraint or engineering authority, won't be allowed.
