Seatbelt Assembly

If you want a new seat belt assembly, lotus have just bought 100 units from AMSAFE (formerly SafeTex formerly Autoliv UK)

Old number C100U0048F

New number F100U0048F £76:68 + VAT

Many thanks to a wise old gentleman called Steve who helped design the M100 seat belt. The seat belt is bespoke to the Élan due to the internal workings of the retractor. The expensive and hard to find piece is the pillar loop.(The company went bust about ten years ago). There are only two brand new ones in the world and they are under Steve’s desk. These are to be used as a pattern in case Lotus requires another batch to be manufactured. The buckle has an alternative which is the twin stalk buckle from the Esprit. I don't know how you would fit this though.

If you require just a new retractor because the springs has become weak, there are 50 available in this country which are manufactured by Autoliv Australia. Approx (£25 Each)

If you need a new webbing belt because the dog ate it or just fancy a colour change, There are 70 colours available...Approx (£25 Each)..

Total overhaul is available by FDTS based in Surrey, Say hello to Sue at http://www.fdts-seatbelts.co.uk/. They have direct access to AMSAFES parts bin and Steve. (AMSAFE formerly SafeTex formerly Autoliv UK).
