Looking in the GT6 parts catalogoue and it lists the following
seatbelt accessories:
568511 safety belt -2 point fixing
568496 safety belt -3 point fixing
both of these were suitable for vehicles up to body no 1040KC and on
1047KC, 1052KC, 1065KC and 1217KC.
712600 safety harness - suitable for vehicles from body no 1041KC and
future except for 1047/1052/1065/1217KC.
I guess it is important to remember that these were all optional
extras, certainly here in the UK, perhaps Triumph only fitted
whatever happened to be closest to hand at the time.
