Catastrophic failure of my harness!

Rusty bolt holding your seat on isnt idea either in my opinion. It might only be surface rust, but i wouldnt use bolts like that for seats in my car.

LOL Picky.

Never ever ever get on a cross channel ferry and look at the rivets!!!

2 inch or 3 inch it doesn't matter, safety items shouldn't fail like that should they?

Poorly manufactured, i'd get onto DT and see what they suggest Mark.

Granted we'd all like 3 inch harnesses, but some people build cars to a budget!

Townsend Thoresen ran the zeebrugge ferry to a budget.

Roll on, roll over.

I'm not suppose to laugh at that.

Poorly manufactured they weren't Jon. If the buckle on the failed side had been fitted correctly originally, it never would have failed. I'm quite amazed at how it's lasted this long to be honest, those two thin strips in the last picture (you can clearly see which side failed) were all that was holding me in place.

Phone DT today, ordered a new harness. Didn't even mention this - what possible basis could I have to argue for a new one when there was nothing wrong with this one at all?!

were they threaded like that as they arrived though?

just on the face of it, those buckles are either sub-standard, or the belts were threaded dangerously? i wouldn't want to either use the same belt, or pay for replacement personally
