#1 2+2 Seat belts

Post by Jaguar Johnny » Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:12 am

Hello all,

thanks for any input here....

my series 1 2+2 requires a new set of seat belts. I've spoken to a couple of the major spares suppliers but even they admit to their belts not being an ideal fit / ideal quality for what I need and have suggested looking elsewhere. Anyone any experience of where I might find a proper fitting set (full set, front and rears)

Are you looking to replace lapbelts with lapbelts, or do you want to go for 3-point belts in the front?

I've put in Securmar black standard lapbelts in the rear (had to make my own holes for fixing) and they fit nicely. Ideally would've like the grey aircraft style belt & buckle, but time limits to technical control (first time approval after import) constrained my choice.

Do you mean YOU require a new set of seat belts front AND rear, because remember its not a legal requirement (in the UK) for belts to be fitted in these cars in the rear. (and I think the front if made before 1967)

Can recommend Quickfit (Stanmore Middlesex). They put new grey inertia reel belts in my 2+2 but incorporating the original Jaguar buckle. The reel itself was hidden behind the side panelling so you don't see it at all. Very good job - was about ?400 about a year ago but worth it, in my view.

Same here Malc. They did the belts for my OTS - blue with chrome leaper on chrome buckle - superb job!
