Hello, Question for U.S. Ferrari 348 [tb/ts/ss/spider] owners. Do you use the motorized "mouse" seatbelts, or do you hook/unhook them manually? If the later, do you to manually lock the lap belt and shoulder belt? Is that an issue, or does it become second nature? Kind regards, Joe
+1 Yep just do the belts manually. It does become second nature. The motorized system is just plain stupid.
I use mine on the driver's side because it still finctions. The passenger side doesn't so it goes manual. since my car is a Serie Speciale, I am not going to ditch anything stock in the interior yet. Once I am done with modding the engine, I might swap out the seats for racing seats and harnesses. Maybe.
I have a Speciale as well and I am using the belts manually. No problem at all. Not to mention the fact that it is difficult enough to get in and out the F40 seats without a belt in the middle of way.
Are you putting in a standard 3-point (non-US) belt system? I'd be interested in hearing more... - Eric
Yes I am switching over to the standard 3 point belt system. Managed to find a gentleman on Ebay Germany parting out a 348. I really dont think the conversion would be that difficult if you had a good interior shop to help do the work. Will start a thread once the parts make it here-they are in transit now.
There are several threads on this from swapping left to right side buckle and swapping 355 belts. Here is one. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/348-three-point-seat-belt-conversion.420412 Sent using FerrariChat.com mobile app
