3 Point Seatbelts for JC Locust
markie76 - 1/9/12 at 11:57 PM

Hi Guys,

I'm almost ready to MOT my recently acquired JC Locust Wide Body Sports but am missing seat belts.

The original donor was a Sierra (1982 I believe) and it had 3 point belts fitted.
These were removed to be swapped for a 4 point harness - which didn't get fitted.

So, the original buckles (recepticles) are still fitted in the car.
The top mounting hole on the roll bar mounting frame is empty.
The bottom 'belt' mounting hole is empty.

I need to fill the gaps (driver & passenger) with an automatic or static 3 point belt.

I will need the belts and recepticles

OR

Just belts if you have ones which will be compatible with 'assuming' circa 1982 Sierra/Ford recepticles.

Thanks,


Mark.

Thank you to loggyboy for sierra seatbelts.

Now fitted and car MOT'd - following replacement of a steering rack gaiter and massaging the O/S front caliper from its slumber causing an imbalance. Not bad for a car thats been off the road for a number of years.

NOW, just need to sort out overheating and investigate the occassional blue smoke and white puffs on acceleration
