I was going thru somma my old belt sets and noticed they are different The set with 1950 inspection have leather loops and the ones marked 60's have an all metal connection. Don't know when one replace the other but I'm happy to have both kinds. Since a bunch of us have old race cars thought you might like seeing em.
Pete your looking at the four shoulder harnesses I've found in So Cal in the past 40 years..... I got plenty of lap belts They are easy. So, no I don't wanna sell 'em. I've gotten a lotta notes from guys missin' photos of strange junque. So I thought I post photos every now and then just these guys could see some stuff But not for sale.... I'd put em on the sell side if the were One guy called me a ''Belt Teaser'' I remember in High School we had a phrase like that but it refered to an area below the belt
Your photo is to close. I enjoy seeing the stuff in the background of your pix. Oh yea, tease. Chris Nelson Kansas Sorry that I missed you at Bonneville this past year. I tried to look for your bike, but the Salt was kinda' rough.
hey whats a set of those belts worth complete ?I think I can get a dozen or so from some Korean war surplus planes L19 birddogs and T33shooting stars guy near me has more than a dozen.I have 2 complete sets I was going to toss but now I guess I'll put one back into my A/A coupe for shows its got a plane seat from 50s
I THINK THE REASON FOR THE LAP PART OF THE BELT BEING COMMON IS MOST OPEN WHEEL RACE CARS UNTIL ABOUT 1955-56 DID NOT HAVE ROLL BARS. WITH JUST THE LAP YOU COULD STILL TAKE A LITTLE DIVE IN THE COCKPIT. BLUTO CAN I HAVE THE ENGINE FROM YOUR MIDGET RACE CAR. LOL MIKE
Those leather tipped Shoulder harnesses are the same thing we use in Our Hercs I will try and get a picture tonite and maybe a part number The only difference is that the webbing is Grey. Warning tho New ones are not cheap. Dawg
Mike.... This is the only midget I've got. And.......no I'm not going to brake it up Yes I still have the Miller/HAL
