seat belts

Anyone know if Aero Buckle 4 point harnesses are SVA friendly? plus what markings do they need? Someone told me that they need to be able to be done up with one hand? Can't see how bet there you go!

no, you need to be able to undo them with one hand in a single action. (I think)

Ie not press a button and turn the dial.

I'm sure someone else will put this into words better than me.

Edit: Above comments do not necessarily relate to the harness mentioned. Statutory rights are unaffected. Always read the small print.

I think for proper type approval/homologation you need to be able to fasten your seatbelt with one hand but its not a requirement for sva.

in fact nitram, undoing womens bras are one of the only things i am an expert at. I have built up quite an array of tricks with the show stopper being a 1 handed instantaneous undo through 2 layers of clothing

the misses let me practice on her-she thinks its quite funny, not so much when i undo her bra in the pub though

Hi,

we passed no problems at Nottingham with these turn release type Luke harnesses.




Only requirements they need to pass IIRC are that they need to be released in a single movement both under load and not under load (in our case a single twist).

Never seen a push AND turn aero harness!!!! As far as I know they all just turn to release. I have 5 or 6 different makes in various vehicles and they all turn to release with one hand





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning
