Good advice. And timely - Racer Wholesale's "Sale" catalog just came in the
mail. And don't try to save money by buying the cheapest possible belts . .

Amen. I'd be tempted not to wear belts at all in an open car without a roll
bar - it might be better to be thrown clear than have the belts and harness
holding me in an upright position while the car is sliding along the highway
upside down. (Remember that I said I'd be "tempted" - don't know what I'd
actually do since I've never had a open car without a frame-mounted and
well-braced roll bar installed.)
