Hi. This is an un-fitted, as-new pair of the very well made reproduction brackets that @davidoft organised and sells in response to high demand for some original ones he had at one point. I have an early bus, so the RHS bracket will not fit because the fuel filler pipe gets in the way. I should be clear that David didn't know I had an early bus, so wasn't in a position to tell me it wouldn't fit when I ordered them! He has been kind enough to offer a refund on this one bracket, but not the pair, and suggested I post an advert for the remaining one. I'd prefer to have a matching pair, as opposed to having to get an alternative single bracket made up to look as alike as possible, so I'm offering these here as a pair, for what they cost me, which is £170 posted .... or delivered, or TLB Couriered. £160 collected. If you want to check about fitting etc your best bet might be to read through here: http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/uber-rare-rear-3-point-inertia-seatbelt-bracket.18366/ In the photos they're laid out as they would be in the bus, ie, rectangular lugs facing forward and against the bus metal ... Apart from that, if you have any questions obviously please do ask. I will be at Victoria Farm on Saturday June 8th and then travelling to/around Norfolk for a week, so there might be an opportunity to hand them over in person somewhere. (I also travel to North London for a few days roughly every two weeks. The next run is probably on the 19th.)
They fitted my 71 cross dresser fine (petrol flap). The only mod required was prefabricate one lower bolt hole/fastening each side Maybe my rock and roll seat is further forward than yours
That's fine thanks ... It's out there for future buyers of these ... or of the others if I can't make it work
Here are pics of the bus in question, and the cro55 over project, which I think is the same as yours? The fuel filler, with flap, is definitely further back ... So far it looks like I'll have to: 1) shift the reel by ROUGHLY 90 degrees as it's currently set up to feed horizontally Offer up the bracket at an angle of about 15 degrees to the vertical so that the lower end of the bracket sits forward of/ next to the fuel filler bump 3) make an extra hole in the bracket to raise the whole assembly up, which is to: A) compensate for the loss in height as a result of taking it off vertical B) bring the "draw-off" point higher anyway to prevent the belt causing spinal compression in the event of being used. NB! In your photo it looks to me as if they're not mounted high enough. The webbing has to run down to the shoulder, not up to it, as I think it would in yours. (My current set up is already as high as yours) 4) get a pair of triangular swivel-slots to put at the top of the bracket to run the webbing through
Still have these ... and still available until I get round to trying an alternative fixing method for our type 2a/early
