When I last left you I had just weighed it and it was just completed enough to get it running, I've now been spending some time getting things sorted out and the little stuff completed. Have a look...

This is the seat belt shoulder bar. The belts wrap around the bar. No tabs to be welded on, no nuts, washers and bolts=lighter. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

(I weighed the car with the belts and some other misc. pieces in the car so the weigh will stay the same as I install this stuff.)
