Rach new to minors!

2 Door or 4 Door?

Welcome to the forum! They should be ok - in the front.

hey rachode,

welcome to the forum!

yeah mine has a three point harness fitted in the front. just make sure that you fit decent sized plates underneath the bolts that hold it all together.

found that everyone on here is great at helping you out so any problems/queries just ask and we will all try and help

Hi all
Ive just bought a 59 4 door with no belts i was wondering the same,
She is totaly untouched inside and didnt want to spoil her with nice new shiney belts , are there any old belts that would fit well??? something i could get from scrapy etc (as long as there safe of course) Its my wifes car. Already fitted a lap belt in the back for the little girl !!

I'd recommend new ones Ponky... You'd never fit second hand brakes, so for the sake of extra safety and the potential to fail I'd say second hand are a no no. ;)

Good point!!

People say the same about secondhand tyres, then promptly buy a secondhand car and drive it with a far less careful examination of brakes, belts, and tyres than they'd give to secondhand items they were about to fit.

We all have only a finite amount of time and money we want to spend on our cars, so let's spend it to best effect - and if buying secondhand brake bits means we can spend more on, say, new dampers, then it may be the right decision.

I surpose any belt is better than none, ill try to find some nice classic bets to fit !! Wanted the old type static !!
