ER---let me add "Repent!"
Ray ;-)
head on were killed. All four had on seat belts according to the reports.
It just depends! But what are your chances if you get hit by an Urban
Assault Vehicle? And what are now the odds that indeed you will be involved
with a UAV?? The end is nigh!

Chip,
You are correct: They DO want to kill you!
And remember that more mass=greater killing ability.
If an Excursion whacks a Hyundai, the Hyundai will always lose.
And that is why the SUV is so popular among women. They are smart enough to realize that their family is more safe in a large vehicle.
Of course, it might be that no one makes a full-size station wagon anymore......the greenie weenies killed the chance of ever making any more.
Best,
Ray

Ray,
There was a girl in Portland a few years back who was
run over by a semi in her MG TA. The car was totally
flattened, but thank God she was squeezed out like a
orange pip and survived. A Seat belt may have killed
her. Their is no sure way to figure whats best, every
wreck is has its own senario.
You have it right though, Drive defensively, and I
always drive like the other guy wants to "get" me and
so far I've never(knock on ash) been hurt.

Ray,
I have the best of all worlds I guess - I sometimes recklessly tow the small British car with an SUV.

My TC has a 1.25 inch Angle Iron Bolted across the chassis members under the
plywood floor of the luggage shelf (behind the seats) with two large ring
bolts bolted down through the plywood and into the angle iron The Belts were
fixed to these ring bolts -The PO kept the full harness seat belts and I
hav'nt got round to getting new ones!!

Seat Belts

Post by HealeyBJ7@aol.com » Wed Feb 23, 2005 3:31 am

Want to install three point seat belts in a TD which has no seat belts in it
now.
Looking for guidance on how to attach. ie Where, do I need reinforcements,
will large backing washers be enough in sheet metal panels, etc.
Thanks,
Bob

Bob there was a comprehensive article in the Sacred Octagon years ago
explaining how to put in and attach seat belts in a TD so that they actually save
your life (until the steering column gets you) . Perhaps that new TSO CD is the
place to look

Bob, TD questions should be directed to the MG-T@autox.team.net list or the TD/TF list on the main UK site. Horst Schact (sp?) has a whole chapter on installing TD belts in his TD restoration book available from www.Britbooks.com .
Cheers,
Terry in Oakland

Seat Belts

Post by Bruce Doran Veevers » Sun Jun 14, 2015 9:20 am

Are there some measurements for where to drill holes in the prop cover . I am only using lap belts . If there is another suggestion of mounting location I would be happy to hear about it

I too run just lap belts.  Used the body mounting bolts on the side of the car aft of the seats and drilled a couple holes in the round cross member that runs across the chassis from this point side to side.Steve TC2911
