Seat belt mount modification

[Pies]

I've put up John Namork's modification of the seat belt mount here

Thanks for the words John

Looks like it could solve the problem of the seat belt mounting ripping the vinyl on my hood as it is lowered.

Very timely. When I got my V8S I moved the stop around to allow the top to rotate further to stop the twisting, but it always caught on the hood. This weekend I put it back as TVR intended and have had to put up with twisting belts again

OK so who knows a good machinist who can knock-up a batch

Interested!
This has annoyed me long enough!!

has anyone come up with an alternative for the anchor point on the seat belt, part which the belt locks into, as this is so long it pulls your stomach into your spine. if it were shorter in length it would pull the belt more across your waist, any ideas??

I have to admit that he was very kind to send me the drawings off line, but I have never got around to putting them into practice. If you are going to get a quote please allow for another set for my self, it may bring the price down a bit.

I can supply the upper mounting adaptors as per Johns drawing, made in steel EN1A,but to get the price down would require at least one hundred being made, if we make say, 10 off then they would cost £29.75 each +vat and postage.
being mild steel they will need to be painted, or whatever finish you want, they could be made from stainless steel which when polished would look nice and shiney, and would not rust, but unless there is enough interest would be far to expensive to produce in small quantities unless the demand was high, but as this is a minor modification to stop the seat belt from twisting I may be wrong but it seems excessive for what is being achieved, .
but if you want some, send me an e-mail.

Thanks Clive. Derek can you post your quote?
I will go for a set for sure,would prefer stainless steel,or chromed?

[clive f]

Tim, I`ve sorted a price for making in stainless steel grade 316,(will never rust)with a nice shiney finish, like chrome,to make a batch of 10 off would cost £38 each, or if demand is enough to make 50 off then we can sell at £32 each, all plus vat and postage.

[v8_oatz]

Please put me down for a set - pref ss!

[F908 Tim]

Go on then Clive,put me down for a nice shiney stainless set please.

[liamp_99]

I will be interested too.

[clive f]

if you definately want some then e-mail me for details
and I will make them up and send them to you.
the more required then the cheaper it can be for everyone.
remember I will only supply the adaptor, the bolts etc is for you to source.

Guys! I continue to be heartened by the spirit of the S Forum!

Thanks for posting this info. I feel a bit mean now as I went down to a local boatyard and gave the drawing to the main man - who said 'no problem'.
He 'phoned me up the following day!!! and said they were ready.
I picked them up last night after work, and he said 'I had to grub around for the high-tensile stainless...I've got to ask £30 for the pair!

Absolutely, blooming, brilliant...I've been thinking on a good 'fix' for this problem - here it is!

okay guys, if you require these then contact me by email, prices including vat and postage now sorted.

[F908 Tim]

So Nick...just how much high-tensile stainless did he find???
