[ROVERNET - UK] P6 2200 - inertia reel seatbelts

[jaguru]

Don't you feel inertia reel seatbelts are a bit modern for a 1925 Rover?Why
not useP6 2000 belts? These originally had a neat hook on the B-piller to
hang  the front seat and shoulder  belt, which kept it out of the way, and
out of the door. The shorter receiver remained on the center of the seat.I
was once rearended  in a 2000 while stopped at a light by a drunk doing 50
MPH. I was wearing a 3point belt, and had an ET headrest The bumper was
pushed forward a foot, the seat broke loose from the floor, but I had no
whiplash, or pain at all.I have been told Ralph Nader once said of the
2000"All cars should be built like this.", but cannot substantiate the
Quote.

Slats and John,

Thank you.  I'm not sure that the stuff you have in mind would work, bearing
in mind that the floor board is about 5/8 of an inch thick and the seat
bottom perhaps 3/8.  I might try large heat-shrink tubing (if it is
available about 1 1/2 inches in diameter); it would be nice to enclose the
belt material where it anchors to the brackets because that is open to the
elements and to flying oil!

Ken G, 1925 Rover 16/50 (San Francisco)

Hi,
We used to use that, it's called grommet strip and is available for many
different thicknesses of metal
