For me it isn't a question of spending $200, it's that I want to use as many
of the original parts as possible as long as they work as I want them to. I
am no concours guy (God knows), but I don't want to build a TR out of spare
parts. I like my TR6 to contain as many of its original parts as possible. I
have seen some beautiful cars that must be almost 100% NOS parts. Very
pretty, but it isn't the same in my eyes. I applaud the amazing effort (and
horrifying expense) supported by the owners, but it isn't completely the
road I want to take. However I retain the right to be completely
inconsistent in my application of the principle. Hence the electronic
ignition, header, sports exhaust and CD-radio etc... I guess I will get over
this mawkish sentiment eventually but for now I feel attached to my belts.

Subject: RE: Lucas supply & seatbelt buttons
I have to agree with Corey, I constantly see folks who have spent
thousands of Dollar$ and thousands of Hours restoring their beloved
Triumph, then grumble, complain, argue about spending $100-200 on
something they really need like NEW seat (read that LIFE) Belts.
Amazing.....

Interesting, but what about the rest of the seatbelt system. I'd be leary
of 30 year old fabric.
