Tillet - 4 point seat belts.

[twincamtim]

I have sourced a tillet to swap for my tatty old leather driver's seat (1999 S3 Supersport). Before I start the exchange can anyone tell me about the seat belt sitch: basically I find (as some others do) that tightening/loosening the side straps is difficult. There have been some references to 'pull up' side belts so my question is this:-

Will 'pull up' side belts be easier to use in a tillet and are these belts fitted before or after fitting the seat?

Thanks in advance. Stay safe everyone.

I think all the newer kitscars are supplied with the lap belts which you pull up to tighten. Have a look at Chris' blog, it's very helpful.

Cheers Brett, that's really helpful.

Spend another £28 and upgrade it to a 6 point for correct fitment and additional anti submarine protection

It's even cheaper..... the red is cheaper still !

Not before time either. I ditched mine the other month as they were impossible to adjust once in the car.

Wish I'd known the new Lukes' were "pull-ups", as I'd have bought a set. I ended up getting a set of Schroth pull-ups instead, which are simple to tighten when you are in the seat.

Also went for the 6 point option for another 25 quid or so. Rude not to.
