there only legal if british stamp marked or have the E symbol on them. and they are not allowed to be proper FIA high spec aircraft style quick release type sockets.

this is how my current ones are fitted.....
imo the best place for the centre strap to go is the rear upper mount for the original belts..on the c pillar when using 3 point harneses

on reading the MOT rules. thats the info i got. belts have to have the normal seatbelt red and black push button socket that the clip slots into.
also it says about the markings for approval.

i think almost all road versions of big brand belts have them anyway, sparco/momo/sabelt/omp etc.
i have noticed cheap import belts from say the usa dont have them though.

yes, stay with top makes. but also be aware that if you get a realy good belt fia standard etc. it might not have the E mark for road use. i dont know how MOT testerd are strict on this though. and i would guess most rally drivers have a legal MOT car with the full fia belts.

I would really think about changint that if I were you, think about how the forces would act in an accident...
All rally cars are road legal as the competitors drive them from stage to stage, remember when Burns etc. got done for speeding on Wales Rally GB a few years back? Would have thought thgat all FIA belts would still be E (or EC) marked as that is just denoting that it meets relevent EC stanbdards, but lets face it, I could very easily bewrong

i would say with total uncertainty you are wrong.:laugh:
yes its the road status of rally cars that makes me wonder if all belts are accepted anyway.

Had a driving experiance at thruxton yesterday, in one of their little single seaters with proper racing belts.
Its a good feeling knowing that no matter what your not gonna leave that chair!
Fantastic little cars those single seaters, i want one badly. Stuff road cars theyre slow and ugly and dont have downforce. mmmmmm downforce. :grinning: :grinning:
