Dang seatbelts...

[Jerry Cowing]

Randy,

I use Simpson belts. I guess I'm getting a little senile because I can't remember if the Simpson brackets came straight and I bent a couple for the fifth belt between the legs or if I straightened them for my lap belts and shoulder harness. I didn't talk to the manufacturer.

My lap belts are entirely inside the cockpit. The belts do not extend through the fiberglass. Only the metal bracket extends through the fiberglass. The bracket is shaped like a "T" with a slot at the top for the belt and a hole at the bottom for a bolt. The wide part (top of T) that the belt slips through is inside the cockpit above the carpet, the narrow part slides through the fiberglass and is attached to the outside frame or to an "eye" bolt under the tunnel.
My shoulder harness belts, however, do slide through the fiberglass, but I installed my carpet through the fiberglass hole and have not seen any fraying of my belt. My shoulder harness is attached to the frame that extends up above the Jag rear end.

Hal,

I sorry, but I'm not familiar enough with the Superformance to recommend a belt installation. My comments to Keith were for a Unique install.

I'll see if I can borrow someone's digital camera and take some pictures of my install. I'll also inspect the brackets to see if I straightened them or bent them.
