Hi All,

What do you all do to stop the seat belts hanging around and becoming a tangled mess? Is there somekind of nice little hanger you can get for them?

I have had the original Kangol seat belts rebuilt with new webbing, and at the top of the belt by where it bolts to the door pillar, there should be a 'clip' that looks like a belt tensioner but is actually a holder for the hook of the belt(the bit that goes into the plastic levered clamp).If you go to www.quickfitsbs.com they have all the parts to rebuild classic belts.I had mine rewebed,new chrome mountings all new bolts including chrome piller bolt for £98.Now seeing new old stock belts go for £200+,thats not bad!
Hope this helps.
Mark.

Does it looks like a metal tensioner, but with one half cut away in the middle? The NOS belts I bought dont have anything like that, however my old ones do - a picture of one in use would be great! Anyone?

Ah! I checked my old belts and they also have a fitment like that stitched into the loop at the top. Unfortunatley, however I replaced mine with some NOS Britax kind (see below for the buckle type, however mine are not inertia). Any suggestions? I will call those chaps you mentioned tomorrow to see if they have anything to suggest.

Check out Ebay item 360276745897 might be of some help or maybe something similar.

Thanks for the advise chaps. I just bought some small stylish stainless selfadhesive hanger clips, they seem to look ok and do the job until I find something better.

I've got the same hanging clips as autohornet, tho I have to confess I'm not great at using them and generally have a bit of a tangled mess. It does always make me laugh that everytime I have a passenger I have to help them put their belt on ( I feel like a right "mum", which is a bit wierd when it's one of my colleagues) - even when some of them have been in Katy loads of times!
