Look what I found in a second hand shop. Britax Mini "Full Racing" harness.

I giggled like a little girly and ran home with it. I liked it cos there's minis on the front.

Not exactly a Full Racing Harness, more like your average lap/sash, but all things are relative to their times I suppose.
Shame there's only one in it though....I don't know what to do with just one. Anyone want another?

Hey you got instructions!

If mine were black I might use it to replace the dodgy ones I've got, but silver is a little hard to use.

Mick, it looks like someone may have fitted the Britax harness to their car and stuck their old standard belt in the box with the unused bolts. :?

Doogie, I remember the Tudor harness kit, my brother fitted one to his Charger. They were a lap belt with two shoulder straps, the shoulder straps just had a loop on the end and just slipped over the lap belt, they could slide anywhere on the lap belt and it would just pull the lap belt out of shape.
It looks like they may have used the shoulder straps and stuck the unused lap belt in the box. :cry:

Oh you are the bearer of bad tidings... Everything is brand new in the box so maybe they did it straight from new if so.

The trick is though that it is brand new with no marks of being fitted, and the bolts were as well?

I've got the part number if someone has an old parts catalogue. It's PB135.

Sorry Mick,
I dont think it is the britax full harness. I have one lying around at home. Is black and I think it was a 4 point. Has britax on the buckle, and the buckle is all metal and from what I remember it is sort of round with a lever on it. I took it out of the bathurst car that was as it raced in its last run in 1975 so is definitely original. With the ribbing in the material looks like an original mini one. If you going to part with it how much do you want. My fathers S has silver seatbelts in it. A new one would be cool.
