Lotus Elan

plus 2 seat belts

PostPost by: street » Wed Mar 29, 2023 8:10 pm

My original seats belts will not pass NZ compliance rules given their age and its a real pain getting rewebed in NZ so I have got the MGB securon ones.

I am happy to sell my original front belts which are in very good condition and rears, these were cut before we owned the car in 88, but still good for re-webbing.

I will remove by weekend and load up photos for anyone that is interested,

I have no idea on price, although I know they are sought after. Postage to uk will be about 25 sterling.

What year? I'm restoring a 1970 +2 Federal (USA). Front belts have an orange release bar which are different from the rears. Please send pictures.

Thanks,
Richard

Mr. Street,

Thanks for the photos, postage to Portland Oregon my guess $35 us, DHL ships well. What price were you thinking for the belts? Do you do PayPal?

My email- [email protected]

Thanks,

Postage Nz to US will be about 60us, I don’t really know what they are worth, needless to say they are as rare as hens teeth and their value is subjective. Happy for you to PM me message what you think is fair in US$.
Thanks

Kangol magnetics in decent shape, those are desirable! And no problem getting them re-webbed in the USA, any competent upholstery shop should be able to do it- just buy new belts and have them sew the Kangol buckles and anchors onto them. My belts are good, but if I was looking for some I'd pounce on these.
