Hi, quick question for ya, does anyone know if a set of static belts from a Spitfire will fit in a GT6? I saw some come up on ebay and I wany to replace
the awful Britax ones in my car. I recognise the buckle part as being the same as I used to have in my last GT6 some years ago, wondered if the rest of the
belts fitted the same.
Cheers, Steve.

They should use the same mounting points if the same era of car. If you want to confirm try Quickfit.co.uk, I've just got an excellent set of GT6 belts
from them.

Hello Colin, sorry to be a pain but could you send me a link for Quickfit, my browser will only bring up a company that makes unusual fittings for
self assembly furniture? How are the clasp buckle parts on your new belts? One of the reasons i want to change is because the stalks are too long
on the ones we have fitted and when you adjust them correctly, the buckle part is across the stomach, not very comfy. The ones I have my eye on are
on ebay and have the original stubby type of clasp, naturally, I would like new ones if there are some available.
Cheers, Steve.

I'd be inclined to fit some inertia reel belts, nice and tidy.

Don,
The problem with the currently available inertia reel belts (Securon) is that they are supplied with a 30cm stalk that sits half way across the
stomach when in use. James Carruthers has been in contact with Securon, and they are adamant that this is correct, and won't supply a shorter
stalk.

Mine are securon and I got them from the club shop. the stalks are short...about 5" or so. I see that the securon belts advertised in the
club shop are long stalk. Give Nigel a call at headquarters and see what he has.

Ah...I think I see what's happened here: we've ended up talking about spitfire belts on the GT6 board. What do securon advise for the
GT6 then? Actually securon are very helpful, I sent them an email and they rang me back immediately with an answer!
kevin, you can see my seat belt arrangement at the Plough on Thursday.
