Testarossa seat belt

There are also some interior trim pieces that are different for manual style belts. You can just install the manual belts with the existing pieces but there will be some gaps, etc. May have to buy the parts from Europe,

 

Some pieces need to be made.

 

About a year ago I bought a set of Euro belts (different from US belts, have no provision for buzzer or warning lights) from Maranello Classic parts. They are NLA, The US belts have been NLA for some time. Maranello Classic is the sole agent allowed to reproduce genuine Ferrari parts and if they have a demand they will get more made.

 

. I am guessing a company like Seat Belt Planet could make a belt that would be very similar to stock. the real problem are the Panels to cover the old stock mouse tracks . If you have a friend that has an euro tr to copy. it would be fairly simple. Just money!

 

No I bought them for a conversion on a US car. Any real upholsterer can fabricate pieces needed. Been done many times by people around country. Covering mouse tracks not difficult.

 

The Euro seat belt kit is exactly the same except for a wire that triggers the warning light and buzzer.

Early US TR used a standard seat belt. It was only the late ones that had passive restraints.

 

They are made by Klippan, a German company. I wonder what other cars use them. Im betting except for the webbing it is the same as some other cars.

 

I once converted to manual belts using a generic seat belt set. The only issue I really had was the retractor housing was too large to fit, so I had to do a fair bit of cutting & grinding to get it all to work. I would consider searching for set belt sets for any type of Italian car...I would think something compatible would show up.

 

That would be a good move if you wanted current production belts. You need to research their old customers from the late 80's and find out who has new old stock Klippan belts. Ferrari was not their only customer. Ferrari is a small company. They are famous for buying existing parts designed for another car and adapting their cars to use those parts. It far less expensive than have a special design manufactured for so few units.

 

The reels will need to be taken apart to replace the webbing, Swap the inserts. You are stripping out a rather obvious feature of the interior and you are concerned about maintaining originality?

Of course correct original Ferrari belts would be preferable but they have not been available for some time and its entirely possible they will not be found in any period of time you are willing to devote to the project.

 

Would 348 or Mondial belts fit?

 

I thought you were converting to Euro spec.

Anyway, you can get new 348 and Mondial belts (newer Mondials that the one you posted)
