Hi,
Sorry I don't know your name and for the delay on replying to your request on the information on my 1925 326 sedan.
Serial number is 49987
The engine number is 50352
The frame number is 2219231
Photos of your cars are very nice.

Vic Hayes.

Great to see it coming back to life, Carl

Did you put in a lap belt too? I just barely glanced at your photos and noticed the shoulder belt, but no lap belt.

This installation would be really good to document. I think an Engineering thread on modernizing and safety improvements would be nice to have, or just a topic with that heading on the new FAQs thread.

BTW, as you probably know, you're better off with no belt than a shoulder belt and no seat belt, hence the "3-point" style to protect the idiots (or innocent).

I just wonder how hard it would be to scavenge a couple of complete shoulder and lap belt assemblies from salvage yards. There's a fairly narrow window of years during which the 3-points had no "pendulum" switch that tightened the shoulder belt on demand, so to speak. I don't that kind of system could be replicated, but maybe they could be modified so that the shoulder belt would snug up and not automatically uncoil.

Taking along a passenger like your friend or your kids--or her kids (or her friends) is when belts can bring a lot of peace of mind, not to mention saved pieces of people.

Blech! They need to learn how build a nice car, again, BLECH!

they want $150.00, it is chrome plated, I will try to post a picture of it

All the universal coils I've seen are not polarity sensitive like a solid state component but you do have to specify voltage when buying. You then wire according to needs because terminals come marked either with the plus & minus such as this one or a red dot on the positive side. Some of the older OEM coils had one terminal labeled -- usually IGN or SWitch. Assuming it was installed in the specified car, polarity was assumed to be correct with that kind of label.

In the immortal words of one of our more prolific Comrads, and i quote: "Now that you've had your fun and humor, let me bring us back to the original topic for a moment,..."

Gufaw hahahahahaha.

AS for the Hard Tops, take a look at the next pic. The green line shows the production hole used for the sedan shoulder strap. MAYBE one of the holes shown in the RED box suits the HT models too????? Could one of those holes be used???? DOWN side is disturbing the headliner. SOmething i wouldn't do unless i had to disturb the headliner for some other reason.

greendragon, so replacement coils come in 6- or 12-volt, and negative or positive ground? You need to specify which voltage and ground your car is to get the correct coil, right?
