Flappy seatbelt ends
While at Stoneleigh I treated myself to a new Sabelt 4-point harness with 3" shoulder straps and a plug-in/twist-release buckle.
This is really easy to use and snug while driving, but I find that there's a lot of 'spare' shoulder strap that flaps around while
I'm driving. At the moment I tuck the extra under the strap, but that's a bit inconvenient.
Have other people had this problem, and what have they done about it?
cheers,
David

I tuck mine under the strap  Though if I could be bothered I'd pull the slack through the back (where it buckles to the chassis) rather than
the front. Just keep forgetting!

Probably turn out not to be wise, but I cut mine off and sealed the ends with a soldering iron. This bit is never going to be stressed.

Velcro the loose end to the main belt.

I have used velcro strip, the sort that has the hairy stuff one side and the little hooks on the other side. It just neatly wraps around and still
allows full adjustment

Mate with an MK keeps a supply of elastic bands for this problem.
Would never recommend cutting belts as you can guarantee one day you will need the extra length!

I don't find the shoulder pads to be very good for restraining the slack so have used some velcro straps to secure . Tried the self adhesive
velcro sold by CBS but it didn't stick to the belt too well

I've got 2 loosly connected black zip ties connected to each other around each strap.
tuck the end of each belt into the zip tie hole and then you can restrain the loose ends when done up tight and slacken when you want to get out

laggy band, or cut them!
As others have said, depends on whether you will want them for another car,
If not cut em off and reseal the ends as suggested.

If when cutting you use a knife can i suggest you heat it right up first then when you cut it it seals as you go and invariably ends up alot neater
than cutting and then sealing with an external heat source
