Pre tension seatbelts?

Post by DaveM »

I failed a wof due to damage to the seatbelt (jammed in door), and of course, knowing my luck, its a pre tension seatbelt (read $$$$$$).
Do I have to replace it with the same, or can I go for a standard one, and is there a big difference?
Also, anyone know if the GQ/GU belts are the same, or is there anyone that can take a pic of the top mount on theirs and send it to me?

GU standard is $195+ gst
GU Pre Tension $400+ gst
GQ $40


Cheers,
Dave

if you have airbags they need to be pretensioned i think, can you get one from a wrecker?

Yeah, those are wrecker prices :shock: I thought it was something to do with airbags, but the $195 one was from an airbag model :?

Is there not a rule that 4x4 can use a lap/diaginal type belt [ cheaper ]
