    Aluminium seat belt brackets

    Hi Folks
    A while back I advertised that I would be casting some more seat belt brackets, but unfortunately at the time there the company that makes them were too busy to make them.
    I now need to know who would like a pair. The price would be around £40-45 plus p&p.



    please post below, personal message me or even email if you want a pair. They should come supplied with a choice of allen bolts or normal screw heads. Other bolts may be possible if required (anti tamper, torx etc)

    once orders are in, I would expect to be able to deliver within 4 weeks of placing the order. I am hoping to cast 10 pairs, but if demand is higher, then the price comes down.

    Adrian Pryke has had a prototype pair of these brackets fitted for a while now, and i'm sure he will point out any pro's or cons of fitting them. The brackets he recieved were not as highly polished as the new ones should be, due to some casting defects.

    Pop your names below if you want some!

    Pro's & Cons...

    Difficult one that...

    Pro's...

    Look Good, Adds style to the interior, Stronger than the Plastic ones,

    Cons...

    My ones won't be as shiny as yours...

    Fitting was a 5 minute job as they are a straight swap so couldn't be easier

    OK, so you might still get the belt slip out of them when you get out like you do with the plastic ones but so what... Unless you come up with a different design then it's bound to happen...

    So come on then, get those orders in so that Paul can get producing...

    If enough people order them then I'm sure we can come up with other parts to replace with nice shiny ones as time goes by...

    As far as I'm concerned, They are definitely worth the money, even more so if Paul gets enough orders to lower the cost even a little bit...

    Hi Paul,

    I would be interested in a pair as long as a newbie like me would be able to fit them ?

    Can you ship to the south of Ireland?

    Let me know when you want my details etc.

    Regards,
    Dave

    OOps - I feel a bit silly now.

    I've just had a look at my Beat and its fair to say that the installation will be idiot proof even for me !

    Bring 'em on Paul!

    Regards,
    Dave

    Paul, How are you doing on the Seatbelt guides?

    Put me down for a pair.

    Cheers

    Still Available?

    I've dredged up a bit of an old post here I know, but I wondered whether any of these seat belt brackets were still available?

    Noted while going round our Beat today that the passenger side original bracket is broken.

    got one set left, but they arent very good quality, they are the worst of the batch, with quite heavy pitting.

    Might do another set soon though.

    Ok, quick straw poll, who would like a set? I'll try and get the quality up a bit, as it was a bit crappy in places last time

    The plan was that you'd give 'em to me when I picked up Ade's old wheels from you....but in the end we didn't meet when I finally found the time to collect them from your old address.

    No problem though, mark us down for a pair of the next batch (assuming there's enough takers to warrant having some done).

    (And no thanks, we already have a Beat )

    Andy.
