    Securon 3 point seatbelt - compatability in my X?

    Hi all, I have a 1977 X1/9. I would like to add a 3 point seatbelt and it seems as though people have recommended the Securon system. From this photo can you tell which model would be best? The 500/30 or 514/30? Thanks!

    3-Point Retractable Belts In An Early Car

    I've installed 3 point belts in several early Xs and my supplier of choice has always been Securon; specifically the 500/30. I just ordered another set for my '74 K20 swap, but that build has a roll bar that makes the upper mount much simpler than making due with a very low B pillar mount...

    New seatbelts

    Hi all, A few words to let you know that Wesco offers seatbelts that fit really well on our Xs. My car's original ones were sun-faded, the plastic parts covering the buckles were cracked and the reeling mechanisms weren't functionning properly anymore. The new ones do not have electrical...

    Vick’s seat upholstery

    just wondering how to tell if these will fit my seats. I got replacement seats from Matt a couple of years ago i’ve been using. My X is a ‘78 and I thought ‘79 on were different, but then recently I saw an ad saying ‘79 to’81 would fit my car as well, so I don’t truly know what year my seats...

    Removing stuck Bertone seats....argh

    The 83 is now in my garage and both seats (black leather) are majorly stuck. Has already had the PB blaster treatment to no effect. I'm all for a full destruct mode removal since I have no plans for the seats but Ed wants them if they can be safely removed. Is it possible to remove the bottom...

    Raising seat height . . .

    Thinking about raising my passenger seat height 1" or 2". My wife is about 5'2" and the seat belt comes across her neck. Could I just take the seat out, buy longer bolts and raise rails with washers or possibly with wood? My car is an 1988.

    Vick's X1/9 seat upholstery set update

    I just wanted to post an update about the X1/9 seat upholstery I bought from Vick's late last summer. I never get things done fast, but I get to it eventually. I did a test fit on a seat last summer, but set the project aside until I got the car painted this June. Here are some pictures of the...

    I Bought Another X1/9

    I know you guys like pictures, so I have a lot of them. This is a long story - Back in November I blew the head gasket in my 84 X. The car was missing the shields that cover the accessory belts and back of the engine; as such I would never drive it in the rain. I decided to take the car to...

    Honda S2000 seat install

    The seats in our 1976 X were a little beaten up so we had to choose between upgrading or refinishing. Ultimately we choose to look for Honda S2000 seats. Depending on the quality these seats can fetch a pretty penny so we tried to be as budget concious as possible and picked up a used pair for...
