Seatbelts
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!
Go hard or go home!!!!

It may not matter in a '64. I don't think that you even need seatbelts at all.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

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.

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.

I think that the cut off date is '65.

time. that is one condition my engineer stipulated.
