Seat belts into a classic car
Discussion
Does your Magnette have the anchor points already fitted? If so, Securon list suitable belts:

I used FDTS to refurbish my belts, though I think they do also sell new belt kits.
I've used Quickfit in the past with good results, but this time decided that their lack of interest in replying to emails would spur me on to look elsewhere. Perhaps I just caught them at a bad time, but it's one of those things that really annoys me.

Another vote for Quickfit
They did a superb job on my XK150.
Also when I was arguing with the DoT about the new seat belt for kids regulations (which make it legal to carry kids in classic cars without a seatbelt but can make it illegal for them to wear one) Stuart Quick was very helpful.

Thank you, there is even a feature of thier work on the classic which I am looking at buying today. M.G. Magnette ZB.
Can I take any credit for recommending one of these when you were searching? I am sure you will like and enjoy it, I may have a pair of 60's lap and diagonal belts in my garage if you are interested not a too stressful DIY job. I am sure you are aware I am a Bury St. Edmunds boy so not too far away.Thank you, there is even a feature of thier work on the classic which I am looking at buying today. M.G. Magnette ZB.
Thank you to all posters, today I was away to N. East Yorkshire to have a look at the M.G.
Pleased to say that the 180 mile journey was well worth the effort, deposit left and hopefully should be in my garage next week.
I will post up some images shortly, I think this is a car which will serve me well. Lots of lovely leather (steady) wood and some braid, so a nice link to my vintage cars. The car performed wonderfully on its test drive, no rattles from bodywork or mechanicals. OK, it’s not perfect, a few small areas of rust to be dealt with but as a sixty year old cat it’s in better nick than me!!
More later for those interested.

Thanks for offer, best I leave the pro’s to fit belts. I am going for a front set of reel belts.
