I re-did my seats on my 76 B and found the same wires.  I played with them 
and they were part of an annoying seat belt warning buzzer.  I have the 
warning light too.

'78B:

I removed seats for the first time today to refurbish them and under the 
driver seat only is a momentary contact switch, about 2 or 3 inches in 
diameter, loose, made of white plastic, with a few inches of wires that 
disappear into the floorboard.  It's stamped "Made in England" so I'm 
guessing it's original equipment.

Is this supposed to insert into the webbing of the seat so as to detect 
when the driver is seated?  Is it part of the ignition protection system 
(so that you can only start the car when it's depressed)?  I think I tried 
starting the car without it and had no problem.  What's it for, and what 
should I do with it?

I can get a picture if needed, but hopefully someone already knows what I'm 
referring to...

Thanks...
