Area Representative Paul Richards Posted January 21, 2008 Area Representative Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm making enquiries about new seatbelts/harnesses for my 7 and have always liked the hook and latch American type buckles that are used on stockcars. I can get some made to suit the 7 but they will not be FIA approved. I'm not bothered about this as I don't intend to compete in any racing, although I wonder whether they are acceptable for track days. The interesting thing however is that they do not have EU approval for road use, but I understand that neither do the aircraft buckle type that we all know and love. I know we have hundreds of cars going through SVA and MOT with aicraft buckle belts with no problems - Strange. My local MOT station don't seem too bothered as long as the seat belts work and are in good condition. Anybody had any problems with seatbelts and does anyone know if the hook and latch type will be acceptable for ttrackdays? Paul Richards Area Representative - L.A.D.S.
