Looks to be universal 2 and 3 point belts for buckets or bench seat.
"Federally Safety approved #209 & #302 and meets Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J386 specs!"
That looks pretty good to me. Thanks.

Yes there are, like this: http://cdn1.bobsclassicchevy.com/media/catalog/product/cache/4/image/800x800/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/S/B/SBLH5557WHITE.jpg http://www.bobsclassicchevy.com/1955-1957-bel-air-seat-shoulderbelt-set-3-point-mount-chrome.html They look like 3 point belts OEM's have used...

Re: 1973 VW Super-Beetle(1303) Hill-Climb Build

I notice the brake peddle is widened toward the clutch. Are they lowered too? I was going to ask the same question. I know in my A2 chassis, once the carpet/pad/soundproofing was removed, the pedals (at least the brake and clutch) were a little too high. I added a heel rest a little like Evans. Whe...

Restraints on a 50's vintage car.

I have been contacted by a guy, who along with 2 friends would like to try out hillclimbs in their 50s-60s vintage American Iron. Looks like a 56 Belair and around 1970 Lemans and Cutlass. https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t34.0-12/12661793_929925390449026_1385170706718136287_n.jpg...

Re: NEHA: 2016 Season Rules Submission

I like what David did with the tire rule for the rally classes. Simple. By the way I remembered how to use the template I made for checking the voids after rereading the FIA RRR - the tire appendix is now Appendix V. A copy of the 2016 RRR's can be found here: http://www.fiaerc.com/wp-content/upload...

Sony DSX S200X digital media car receiver

I am selling my mint DSX S200X receiver. I replaced it in the Sprinter with an identical Bluetooth capable unit so I can "hands free" my smartphone. $50. http://www.crutchfield.com.edgesuite.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ImageHandler/fixedscale/400/300/products/2011/24/158/x158DSX200X-o_frontblu...

Re: NEHA: 2016 Season Rules Submission

Not a rule submission but there was some chatter on the FB page about Rally Class Rules and Reg's and what type of tires are allowed. I checked our documents and we do not have anything written down regarding rally class! It used to be maintained on the SCCNH web sire under the hillclimb tube, but ...

Re: 1973 VW Super-Beetle(1303) Hill-Climb Build

One of the problems with looking for advice from someplace like the PA series is our roads are astonishingly rough compared decent pavement which I am led to believe exists at the PA events. This could lead to selecting a setup that is way too stiff to be usable at places like Ascutney. However, fro...

Re: NEHA: 2016 Season Rules Submission

I can confirm that NASA (Road Racing and Rally) WILL be permitting SA2005 helmets until the end of 2016.

Also, I see that RA will accept SA2005 during 2016.

So, maybe we SHOULD follow these leads and delay implementing the SA2010 minimum until 2017.

Re: NEHA: 2016 Season Rules Submission

Its been the norm to change the oldest accepted Snell date the year after the next iteration is released, and that is because it has been the norm for very few helmet to be available complying with the newest date. While some brands may be late making the 2015 conforming helmets available, we dont s...
