Autoloc seatbelts from Summit

BigDawgDavao · Jun 6, 2009

Hello,

I came across the following item while browsing the Summit site:

http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=HFM-SB3PRBK&view=1&N=700+400996+324865

Just wondering if anyone has used them and if they are okay or not. The other alternative:

is about 160 bucks more.

The morris belts have an extension that puts the reel next to the seat. If it's behind the seat you can't slide the seat back. Perhaps the others could be modified? I've got the morris belts and love them.

I dont have either...but....looks like the Autoloc at the D ring would sit too high up, while the Morris has an extended D ring (for the shoulder section). Also as Dave said, looks like you would not be able to move your seat back, or limit its travel rearward due to the real location. Also, Morris claims FMVSS approved, which when you crash.....which I hope no one on this site has in their pride and joy, thats an important component of your safety.

Personally, if I went with that type of set-up, I would go with the Morris...as it is a direct bolt-in replacement, with adjustments already built in to the belt system...... and the FMVSS approval is important to me.

Just my 2 pennies.....

Yes, I noticed the safety rating in both. I guess with all the other cash I'm dropping on this car, what's another hundred or so

My main concern was about comfort cause as much as I hate to wear seatbelts, I recognize that if I'm going to have them they may as well be functional and fit for purpose. Kinda like the helmet law, if you have to wear one, might as well be a proper approved brand.

Thanks for the replies.

I like the Morris set up, I may go with them later as the car gets more time on the road.

I bought the Morris ones when they were on sale at Rick's. When they came in, they were wrapped in one of our local newspapers. I found out that they are right down the road from me. Dang it.

If you get them, the generic seatbelts that Rick's carries that are listed as "front seatbelts" for $24 apiece are actually rear seatbelts and they match the Morris ones pretty well. The only thing is that the button on the Morris ones is a star pattern actual button and the one on the generics is just a sticker over the button. If you order them from Morris, you can get just about any kind of button...Fisher, GM Mark of Excellence, etc.

Thank You all for the compliments on our seat belts. Our seat belts are year and model specific. Our seat belts clear most seats. The manufacture of our seat belts test the webbing and assembly during manufacture.

Does anyone have the Morris Classic belts installed in a 1969 Camaro with 4th gen Camaro seats? I'm curious as to whether there are any fitment issues.

3 Point Seat belts

Thanks to Everyone for the compliments and buying our products. Our seat belts will fit with up to 97 power seats,maybe someone else here has tried later model seats with our seat belts. You will need about 3.375 inches between the seat and door panel for clearance. Billy
