MOss sells a non innertial 3 point belt which was a snap to install in my
Mk1 Midget. Goth them 'cause I have a real dish of a blonde haired blue
eyed co- pilot with me, a wee bit younger than the car though.. all of 8.
The were about $40 apeice as I recall.
I'm not comfortable using a junkyard part for safety related items, seat
belts do degrade with age and wear, and while they are over engineered, I
figure that 80 bucks is a cheap price to pay for peace of mind. YMMV.
oh yeah... she's decided that it's her car.
