Original 240Z seat belts

[jamo240]

Hey gang

 

Does anyone have a set of original belts they're willing to part with?

 

I'm after the original look and need to pension off the Honda belts that are in the car now.

 

Cheers

So how does that "original look" go with your RB25DET?

Lol

To be honnest i think  you are nuts wanting to put 40 year old seat belts in your car.

 

Crash = death enough in a 240Z let along when your seatbelts snap.

The original belts hook into each other in the middle do they not? And they also keep coming undone if not on tight enough? I think my passenger side belt is still original and it's not very reassuring. Sure it looks cute, but safety first IMO.

That will be enough out of you Simon!!....an RB25DET is exactly what Datsun wanted to put in the 240's, but the timing was wrong! Just think of mine as a 432T Z!

 

You are all correct in that modern inertia belts are more user friendly, but I am not convinced they work any better than the originals provided the webbing is in good condition and they are adjusted correctly...obviously you can't move around while driving as easily though when they are...a bit like race car harnesses...everything has to be in reach. I am happy to re-web the belts if the fabric is suspect...anyway, let me know if you have a set you reckon are past it.

 

Cheers lads

I have a box full of belts, just not sure if there are any 240 ones. I'll check as soon as I have a chance.
