Re: seat belts

[Kristian Walsham]

Thanks Terry,                               What i have done is i got 2x door pillar bolt/tubes (specially for the seat belt top mount) from an early Toyota`s B pillar.                               They actually look more like a small tube with a head at one end and an internal thread. I kept the bolt that screws into the tube, drilled a hole through the B pillar ( there is a hole already on the inside at the right height) and mounted the retractable seat belt using the other original mounting points too. Seems to work well.                                           I was sick of being strangled by the original belt. Much happier now. I was just curious if it needed to be looked at.       Kris.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 4:14 PM Subject: RE: seat belts Kris,   In the ACT you only need engineering for seatbelts if you move/modify the anchor points - so if you use retraceable belts say from an early Monaro or 200B SSS which use the stock 1600 anchors you will not need a report. The variable/grey bit in this is if you use seats from something like a  Pintara U12 that have the lower anchor point attached to the inner rail (slides back and forth with the seats) but I've not seen any problems when these have been used either.   I imagine most other states are the same but in Vic? I'd check with any garage that has a regd RWC mechanic on duty - you'll have a fair idea yourself what's safe and what's not.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kristian Walsham Sent: Tuesday, 27 August 2002 12:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: seat belts Hi all,       Does anyone know if you need an engineers report for retractable seatbets in a 1600 in Vic or any other state?   Thanks,       Kris. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
