Twist it around the mounting bolt so it's as horizontal as possible - or even park the car on a horizontal tilt to achieve this to get it free. Crooked mounting caused this on mine. Obviously if it sticks persistently it'll want chaging. If so try:

When I've had this problem before on other cars I've released the mechanism from it's mounting to create some slack in the belt and then carefully pulled some belt out of the holder. You have to make sure that you hold the unit level otherwise it will continue to jam.

Go to the google search for seat belts in uk and the website will list TVR's .The size for griff's is 500/30 and they only come in black.

The make is securon and a local car factors shop ordered them for me.

Good luck
