So I'm not planning to race the car I'm working on, but was thinking about the seatbelts. Would it make any sense to put 5-pt belts in it to increase safety? Would it help to make up for lack of air bags? Does it even make sense without a roll cage?

Have you guys noticed that the 914 inertia belts only work when you get on the brakes hard? But in a modern car they also work by pulling them very fast? Or do my 914 inertia belts need a rebuild? |

Have you guys noticed that the 914 inertia belts only work when you get on the brakes hard? But in a modern car they also work by pulling them very fast? Or do my 914 inertia belts need a rebuild? Do you have the chrome bracket that redirects the belt so it still goes straight down from the reel? If not, your belts will never work correctly. Which is another reason why i prefer the non-retractable early style belts ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
