Front safety belts.
« on: April 24, 2014, 09:21:21 PM »
What belts interchange with a Kammy? The mount is different from the other Eagles. I want to go from brown to black. Not only is the bracket different but the mount is reversed.

I never knew that. Seat belts for any Eagle are problematic. I, too, would like to hear of alternatives. :eagle:

I'm guessing the only belts that would interchange would be from a Spirit with the same body style.  I don't think the SX/4 belts will work.  There may be some aftermarket ones that would fit.
