I can't find these seatbelts anywhere but they're just what I need for my front seats...

Thanks guys,

Looks lke you found them right there...reserve not met so they will be relisted more than likely.

Don't be so generic, there's gotta be a site or company somewhere that sells just the lap belts... M&R have the 5 and 6 point belts on their site but I can't just find the lap belts..

You might call M&R - maybe they have them and they aren't listed on the web.

Sorry I don't have anything better for you. Good luck.

I have only seen these types of restraints sold in entire harness kits but that does not mean that the company won't just sell you the lap belts.....give them a call, that is the best way to find out. I was joking with you earlier but it seems that the internet has made everyone lazy and forgotten how we found out info for almost 100 years prior to it's invention....PHONE.

hehe, in the past week I've been on the phone for an estimated 2 1/2 hours with 6 different manufacturer's for everything from locating deluxe interior pieces, to transmission parts/questions, to returns/exchanges, and to my special favorite -- "Where the hell is it? I paid over a month ago" 's... lol

I'll call M&R in the morning, I just figured someone might already know here.

Thx,

You might try a Street rod parts place. I have seen these at street rod car shows.

Just so happens that I am researching 5 point harnesses and came across these. Simpson sells just the lapbelts in their camlock or regular latch & link.

OH GREAT!! That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for! And look, it costs at least $30 less than that guys ebay ad!

I do have another question though... the middle belt looks like the one I want but it says it's a pull down belt? Meanwhile the one on the right side with the smaller buckle says it's a pull up belt... what's the difference here?

Also, the big question, does anyone know which type I would need for my mustang? The middle belt type that I want has three different versions:

1)Floor Mount
2)Wrap Around
3)Bolt In

Thanks a WHOLE LOT,
-Tim

Pull Down means the adjustment flap of the belt is near the latch end
Pull Up means the adjustment flap of the belt is near the mounting end

Floor Mount usually has an eye bolt mounted in the floor and the mounting end clips into the eye bolt
Wrap around is made to wrap around a roll bar cross bar
Bolt in is made to be bolted into tabs (not bolted directly to the floor)

Awesome, thanks for the info gp001... I hope we can settle our grudges now.

So it seems that what I'll want to buy is the Floor Mounted Pull Down belts and then order 4 Floor Mount kits... that's $195.70

Wow, even seatbelts cost good money, but hey, safety is TOP priority right?

Thanks again,
-Tim

Oops, someone already beat me to it.

The pull up versus pull down have to do with which direction you pull to tighten the belt. If you look at the pictures it looks like for the pull up belt you pull the belt towards the center of your waist and for the pull down you pull towards the side of your body. Dont take this for the final word, but thats certainly what it looks like to me. This is straight for the Simpson website but it doesn't help very much.

Q: What is the advantage to "Pull up" or "Pull down" type belts?
A: What you use is a matter of personal preference and the equipment you’re using. For example, does the belt go through the seat? Will you adjust it or
will someone on the crew? What hardware works best with your set up? Bolt-in, Floor Mount or Wrap Around? The "Pull up" belts are 62" in length. The "Pull down" belts are 52" in length.

I would call Simpson and they should be able to explain the adjustments and the different mounting points.

You're welcome for the info.

Just for the record, I never had a grudge against you, I just have a differing view about posting vendor complaints.

But it's water under the bridge to me

Also, be careful installing harnesses on a street car. Most are SFI approved but not DOT. Police can ticket you and/or impound your car for lack of safety belts if they are in the mood. I know it's crazy, but just beware

That's insane! The day a cop tickets me or impounds my car because he took the time to check if my belts were DOT approved....

I guess the idea is not to let them ever get close enough to see inside... hehe
