Seat Belts

Post by rockymtnshepherds »

What is preferred for the front belts of a Haffy? I need to add two for the front seats. Wondering what you all would recommend (part # and source).

Originals would have been manual adjust belts along the lines of those fitted same era VW beetles.

Having said that, any modern automatic roll up /arrest seat belts would do - safety being important and new webbing would be preferable to 40 year old webbing.

There was a thread on the yahoo group which had pictures of the sorts of original clip catch belts.

Your choice might depend on which model Haflinger you own. A simple lap belt will work on all. if you a later model US spec/Pathfinder, the front roll bar has the bung necessary for a three point belt. We have successfully used a variety of belts including vintage Mercedes "J" hook-style arrangement.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
