I have a 64 850 with Britax seat belts in the front.
On the drivers pillar is a hook for storage of the seatbelt.

There is a piece of bent coathanger wire on the passengers as there is no hook otherwise.
Is there a commercial "hook" that I can buy. I'm not worried about originality too much but something period woud be nice.

Phil

Yes those were standard fitment 1966? on, they were NLA for quite a while until someone got them remade.

Quite fragile however. You only once have to forget to unclip them as you grab the belt and they're gone. They might have been better in metal. Nevermind, they're available and not at a great cost either.

All garage work involves equal measures of enthusiasm, ingenuity and a fair degree of irresponsibility.

I have a box full of old BMC seat belt bits as Dad was a seat belt engineer at BMC. Let me have a look you might be lucky.

The later style hook probably only suits the later belts where the tongue has a square hole.

If you want that particular style and not concerned about originality, you would likely find something at the hardware store, these packs have something similar but metal.

That Would Be Me Kevin, I must be getting older than I thought, I was sure I told you I was having these made

Hmmm, they look like they'd be easy to replicate with pinkisil and moulding them.

I also found these. Anyone know what they were used on? They are like a much larger version of the post 1966 Mini hook. Maybe for the buckle tongue with the rectangular hole. Maybe not used on anything as Dad use to bring home lots of samples. Lots of Ford stuff, BMC and Ford seemed to be using the same seatbelt supplier around this time.

Phill - any part number embossed on either of those hooks?

My S has a piece of plastic coated wire looped around the webbing with a hook. Seems to work ok.

No Doug, the small ones nothing. I'm guessing they are part of the early Britax kit?

The large ones... one has a 2 and the other a 4 but they look identical.

I think they are for this type of buckle.
