Anybody in Queensland know if you're legally allowed to run harnesses instead of the standard seat belts? (In a 64 beetle)
If so, what brands are ADR approved?

there are a few ones that are approved, normally 4 point with a normal seatbelt buckle. You will need to probably get the mounting points engineered/blue plated.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

It may not matter in a '64. I don't think that you even need seatbelts at all.sander288 wrote:http://www.revolutionracegear.com.au/index.php?PCID=10413&PSO=245&PSID=9121__&PSV=Primary&CDO=

I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

I'd reckon he would probably like to avoid damaging the steering wheel, or windnsrceen.....with his head. 👍
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

That's easy! Remove the steering wheel and windscreen and store at home.🤪HappyDaze wrote:I'd reckon he would probably like to avoid damaging the steering wheel, or windnsrceen.....with his head. 👍

True you don't need them but if you fit them you have to have them engineered. I'm not sure who would drive without them even if you are allowed.AA003 wrote:It may not matter in a '64.

Weither they are approved or not is another story, I have two cars with approved harnesses, just need to have a two seat conversion done at the same time. that is one condition my engineer stipulated.
