Seat belt re-webbing

[pauly22]

Hi.

Anyone know the rules/regulations regarding swapping the seat belt webbing?

Main thing is I’d like to do it myself, you can buy the belt, and the thread and i know someone with a fairly heavy duty sewing machine I could borrow.

Thanks

Don't even attempt it, for the love of God. check out a company called Airbag Team. They do all mine. large array of belt options, too.

If you do it properly who's gonna know. I'd make sure you know what your doing tho! Not quite as simple as sewing two bits of fabric together.

Seat belt standards
In general, if a vehicle is required to have a seat belt, then all seat belts which are fitted must meet either the British or European Standards, or equivalents, set out in Regulation 47 of The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986. They must be approved for use in the relevant type of vehicle and must display an approval mark - this will normally be an ‘e’ or ‘E’ followed by a number, or a BS ‘kitemark’.
