Seat belts for E track ?

Post by tokarev »

Who makes the lap belts that work with the E-track? Finally got around to buying the E-track.

Seat belts for E-track

Post by Heed »

I picked up mine from Wesco Performance in California. They have an olive drab coloured belt which goes great with the truck. I then ordered some E-track clips from Mackie's on e-bay. I had a shop cut the belts and sew on the E-track clips.

The system works great and looks like it was made for the truck.

Both were very accomodating.

Those are good prices on the lap belts. Cheapest I found prior was at 4WD.com and they were 19.95 each.

We stock the e-track seatbelts. Aircraft lift buckle, very nice quality. Price runs $30 each in stock. They can be pictured here:

The website for ex imports doesn't seem to show these. Are they still available?

Those are some nice looking belts, just about choked on the price though, I fonund mine off ebay from a military supplyer, same belts slated for a chinook chopper, only cost me $8.00 a pair 12 pairs for my 712, and they are ANSI and DOT rated on the belts

Yes we inventory the belts. Not currently listed on the webstore, but they are in stock. Give us a call or drop us an email.

Pinz Enthusiast, your surplus chopper belts have the e-track ends? So add in the 2 e-track fittings and find a shop that will put them together....oh yah, make sure they will certify them for passenger use....., add in your shipping, time to coordinate, etc..., no question you saved a few bucks, but really $30 for a custom belt, is not out of line.

I'll go back to counting my millions at the dinner table.....:)

seat belts and helmets

Post by krick3tt »

Same thing with motorcycle helmets...$10 helmet for a $10 dollar head.
These are for the safety of your passangers that may be your family members, give them some safety and care.

I took my belts to a mountaineering shop. They used an industrial sewing machine to add the e-track ends. I was comfortable with them because I know their work through rappelling, etc.

Scott's product would have enticed me if he had it at the time. I went with the Wesco ones because I could get them in olive drab green. Combined with the chrome aircraft-style lift...they look great!

I guess it all comes down to paying for convenience (and safety if you don't know the people doing the sewing for you!)

Best of luck!

Does anyone have a photo of the etrack with seat belts in their truck? I am a little concerned about drilling through the body a hundred times to screw/ rivit down the etrack. Is their another way to laty it solidly in the rear? Just looking for ideas- Thanks
