My condolences to Mr. T.A. Terry on his mishap with his TA MG. I know how
it feels to hurt your 'T' type. Some years ago I "lost it" in a tight turn
on an unfamiliar road and put the right front corner of my TD into a clay
bank. The front "A" frame rotated and holled the oil pan. I was wearing
a lap belt, but that didn't prevent me from eating the steering wheel.
Needless to say I restored the car, and installed a seat belt with a shoulder
strap. I mounted the lap belt to the vertical wall behind the seat, and the
shoulder strap to the side of the r/h wheel well. Remember when mounting to
sheetmetal, use a large backup plate on either side to from a sandwich.
This distributes the load making a much stronger assembly.
Press on regardless,
#199 Blair
