Tried fitting the CG Lock to my Chim last night, only to find that it has the "wrong" type of seat belt. Belt passes twice through buckle instead of once. (Easy to understand if you have a look at your buckle) . Has anyone modified their seat belt to accept the CG Lock or found an alternative product.
Am finding that I slide alarmingly in my seat when making good progress round corners.
Wife hinted that problem was in direct proportion to my weakness for pies.

Try facing the CG Lock 'backwards' (ie outer face on the inside to how it should obviously go)... I had the same problem and overcame it that way, although the diagonal run of the belt does cut at a steeper angle than I would prefer as a result... just watch out that the spare threads protruding from the top (really the designed 'back') of the lock don't chafe your bolsters (oo'er eek ), I dressed mine down.

Hey Gary, I didn't realise you'd invested in a CG lock! On my pressie list for my next birthday!

Had a pair more or less since they launched widely. Wasn't sure about them to start with but second nature now and feels well odd without. Good gear IMO
