Mike dB Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 After having a lurvely jaunt in the Westy over the weekend with the sidescreens out, all I can say is OOOWWWIIIIEEE I was 'b***h-slapped' by my own seatbelt! what does everyone else do to combat this? I've got willians 4 point harnesses (I think, no crotch strap more to the pity). I tried 'twisting' them round the belt but over 60mph it's like being in a bith-slapping fight (not that I'd know yo uunderstand) I nearly lost my specs too which isn't good! Any ideas to how I can keep my specs on as well otherwise it's 1 handed driving whilst holding into my specs at a fast speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbin Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Know what you mean! Try some velcro on end of straps and other bit on static part of strap IYSWIM. Works quite well, although not if you keep adjusting the straps to different points.......moral, don't eat too much!! HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Two easy options 1. Get a couple of those shoulder pads that velcro strap around your belts or 2. Put Some elastic bands around them cheap and easy, but perhaps not so aesthetically pleasing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 The vendor of my car kindly supplied a bulldog clip, which I attach to the outside belt. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't work for our shared Westy. I'm 6' 2" my Dad is 5' 9" I think the spazzy band or bulldog clip will do for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Ditch the bulldog clip If that flies off at speed either on the road or particulalrly track it can do some serious damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 It's never so much as moved...and probably weighs less than most small stones I get hit by I probably wouldn't use it on a track. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhawkins Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Watch it you two...she's the daughter of a Welsh minister (and the mother of a Welsh Wizard! ). She has friends in high places Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhawkins Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Further north than that, you must have her confused with someone else. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhawkins Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 There was a slight hint in the use of the word 'Welsh'...pay attention Mark! Oh, and before the Welsh Wizard pops along and reads this thread, I want to make it clear that there is absolutely no connection between the thread title and her mother. Wish me luck everyone...I'll let you know the address to send the 'Get Well Soon' cards to . Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish me luck everyone...I'll let you know the address to send the 'Get Well Soon' cards to . Andy, my love..... why did you send me an e-mail with the URL for the thread?? If you'd have kept quiet about it, I wouldn't have known what was being said. Are you trying to give me a reason to have a go at you???
