I've been trying to sort out some seatbelt mountings suitable for inertia reel belts and came across
www.karting.ukf.net/TheRoadCarPage2.htm.

When discussing his seat belt fitment he says "inspiration came from the Locost Owners Club magazine, where a excellent system was published".

Does this magazine still exist or does anyone have a copy they could scan?

John.

The loCUST enthusiast club do a magazine or at least they did when I was a member.
Maybe it was what what he was refering to.

No - there was a Locost Owners Club, and it did have a newsletter. It did have some good tech tips in it too, occasionally.

Both club and newsletter long gone, sadly.

steve m fitted the inertia belt system in his car so could be worth a u2u,i think i have a full set of the locost owners club magazines from year dot :-( if i can make some time tonight i'll have a look through for the article.

Here you go, ironic really article was written by chris gibbs so if he wasnt banned he would have probably helped out.

Thanks for that, it's exactly what I needed.

Incidentally, do I need to buy new belts or could I use ones from a doner vehicle provided they're in good condition? If so any idea which doners might be suitable.

I did read in an earlier newsletter that people were using rear seat belt inertia systems,possibly because they are less used in non family cars

I didnt "do them up" just incase i had to make a quick exit.
