these seat belt guides are effective and well made, I have no connection to the seller

Hi Stever.

This I the guys website.

The alternator fan safety guard looks like it might be universal, let’s hope he soon has a section for TVR’s....

yes website without a TVR section is odd.??

I did say to the vendor I would put a post up as I thought others might not know about them and they were a good quality because I sort of stumbled across them.

It's always been a pain reaching back for the seat belt clip or you have to keep the door open longer which can be awkward if traffic is passing. These solve that so I'm happy with my purchase

It is a minor pain reaching back for them, so I get the desire to do this; I am just worried it may be a much more significant pain if you have an accident. Might twist around depending on the angle of impact, and act like a bit of a blade.

They are nice and shiny though.

He also makes seat belt extenders. If your targa hood fouls your seat belts, fit a pair. Mine are approved by Her in Doors who had a scary moment when the seat belt went slack. The scream made me brake harder when i should have backed off. Buy Hey Ho i survived.

It's a fair point but any accident in a Griff isn't likely to be good for your general well-being. I did consider this but in most cases I felt the seat belts should lock and hopefully pin down the guides as well?? I'm sure (if you've seen any of the Final Destination films) there's a freak situation where the dark side will overcome your best efforts to stay safe yikes

By the time it does that your head will be embedded in the dashboard, not a problem smile
