Seat Belts

[Guest Dtr36]

hi can i fit std 3 point seat belts for iva?

as i only got one 4 point harness as other been cut

Standard 3 point belt is OK for IVA as long as the mountings are strong enough. Any OEM 3 point belt will have a label stitched onto the end of the webbing with a E mark on it to show it's approved (although obviously in a different application).

 

Get a photo of the label, it might not be easily visible with the belt installed.

Fitted inertia reel belts to Florin during build, passed IVA with-out comment by examiner.

My IVA examiner much prefered standard inertia reels, easier to get in and out and no messing around adjusting.

P.M me if you wish for more details on inertia reel belts fitted to Florin.

Posted here so it's info for all. Florin 2B is fitted with a pair of Securon seat belts Model No.264 ( can be viewed on their web-site.) The retractors can be fixed at any angle, there are 2 adjusters on each reel to make locking occur. The reel is mounted (on Florin) in the "space" between inner & outer side panels (if inners were fitted) bolted to an angle plate which is in turn bolted to the "elephant ear" that carries the Sierra cross-tube & the side chassis rails. The top webbing mount is on the roll bar around 4" up from the seat back panel. A plate, half round in section with 7/16 UNF nut welded on was fixed inside the roll-bar by 2 x M5 caphead set screws. The buckle was fitted near tunnel to a threaded plate mounted on 40mm angle iron running across car at the junction of seat back & floor panels.

 

Make sure the webbing runs freey to ensure the belt is always tensioned correctly; take loads of photos to show all hidden detail, plus pics of parts you make before fitting. Read & read again the IVA manual to get positions correct.
