Seatbelts

Post by classicclara » Tue Nov 10, 2015 7:44 pm

Hi All,

Has anyone fitted seat belts to the front of the P3? Think the B-Post is out as the semaphore wires must run up there. However, I'm sure I've seen photos of seat belts that go over the shoulder/back of the front seat...presumably these are mounted to the floor behind the front seat(?) Are these static seat belts? Any other ideas would be gratefully received! :) Thanks.

Its on here somewhere - B post fitting has been done but IMHO its far too weak even without corrosion Floor mounting to chassis is essential

It's certainly possible to fit seatbelts to P3 front seats. I saw them in Eric Irons' concours P3 more than 20 years ago. Eric was a skilled engineer and would never have installed any mod. in his superb car unless it was 100% safe.

I know several people who have fitted it to the pillar but have reinforced it with a plate behind the trim.
