True Classic
I'm not a big fan of 'modding' - if something was there in the original design, I at least like to see what it was all about. True, once I get everything back to stock, I'm likely to do what most people have done and disconnect it all again. At the very least, I DO like the idea of the instrument cluster indicator being functional. The light that says your seat belt's off. That is a must if I can do it WITHOUT the starter-interlock, and possibly buzzer/chime. Amazing as it is, there are days when I'm pre-occupied, and end up half-way down the block without doing up my belts, and the chime reminds me I'm being an idiot. The indicator light would do the sameI don’t think you need anything else.
Out of curiosity, why the focus on the belt reminder? Are you that likely to not buckle up without it? I can understand the key in reminder, you either like them or you don’t but an easy to live with thing in any case.
As someone who had a 1974 Datsun with a similar solution starter interlock, it was a complete effing nightmare. Too many connections, too little reliability. The belt switch was prone to failure due to dirt/schmutz of life.
Do you think I need the missing interlock box to at least get the cluster lamp / driver's seat connection working?
