Ray Brown seat belt question

Gary Morris · #1 (**permalink**) 03-24-2005, 02:21 PM

Does anyone know where to get the hardware piece that is similar to the one pictured below but if I remember correctly the one brown used had a thumb lever to open and close it around the eyebolt in the floor. I really likes these a lot better than the standard flat style now being used and a restored set of Ray Brown belts are throught he roof......hell I would take a nice replica set..LOL

I'm also looking for a good used or new set of Ray Brown reproduction lap belts. Simpson and Filler Safety made good repros in the 1980's. Anyone have some they want to sell?

Hmmmm..well Ok...does anyone have a photo as to what the original hardware looked like so I can have an idea as to what I'm looking for? Any help or leads appreciated.

Here are several pictures of some "Filler Safety" Belts which are good Ray Brown productions. Notice the "old style" hardware compared to the modern "Duck Bill" type latches.

I don't really mind the buckles etc...and I can find just about every piece except the piece that buckles to the floor. I know someone must make them...just trying to fond out who.

For the floor mount latch and eyelets only, try Crow Enterprises. They are on the web somewhere.

All Crow Enterprises has is the FLAT style hook ups. What I'm looking for is the type very similar to the picture I posted above only they have a thumb lever to open and close the latch.
