THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

hey guys. I am out of the country and want to fit a seat belt system to the truck and it would be great if i had all the parts i needed when i got back to do this.
with that in mind what do i need, and how many do i need? i have a 710m, what length Etracks would i need?

thanks guys.

8 seat belt set ups from Scott at Expedition Imports. E track comes in 4, 8, and 10 foot sections you will need 8s or 10s and then cut to fit.
best seatbelts out there unless you want to go crazy

I have some EI belts for sale. Installed E-trak and later changed to forward facing seats in the rear. Never used. 50% of new + shipping

PM sent.

pm'd too....

Thanks for all the PM's. Haf-e was first; and so has first dibs.

These are the belts I have in my truck. I am not sure if the PO installed them, but they almost look stock.

can you still fold your seats into a flatbed with those? they look nice but I really would like to take them off with the quick clips of e-track.
In my old radio truck I put etrack in for an additional 4 passangers, but since my 712 had sets bolted in by a PO I am having a hard time justifying 12 news sets at 30 a piece.

Deal is though I use all 12 seatbelts a couple times a month for scouts so unbolting them is to much trouble to regularly do.
If anyone has extra sets they want to sell at a reduced rate, please let me know

I only have the two seats, but yes, they fold into the flat position without issue.

Nice to have, but I would say not stock...

Retractable seat belts make for a clean setup, but care must be taken because most retractable belts have inertia belt locks that are designed for forward facing seats…. In a frontal (or rear) collision, they would be slow to lock, if they lock at all (unreeling extra belt) when used for side facing passengers. If usng a setup that allow the belt to extend and retract freely while there is a passenger in it. I'd be concerned.

I never thought of that....something I will definitely investigate.

Thanks David!

I wasn't saying yours in particular, just a safety precaution for all with retractable belts on side seating.

Well, the belts passed a critical test today and got some very important cargo home from the Liquor store...

Hmmmm.... looks like 2 short... causalties of the trip?
