Does anyone know where to get the correct seat belt extenders in the US and what part number to use?
I got the following message from the "Seat Belt Extender Pros"
on Amazon.
"Unfortunately, there is not an extender available on the market for that exact metal tongue design in your Morgan Three Wheeler. I know that is not the news you were hoping to hear, and I'm so sorry to have to share it."
I'm just worried that an ill-fitting extender could fail to work when needed.

I just bought the 3" extenders that Seat Belt Extenders said wouldn't work. They're fine. BTW... what's your state of residence?

Are U.S. Belts different to U.K. ones?
I use the fleabay extenders and they seem fine, under £15 a pair.
I'll have a look at the belt tongues next time I'm the garage and compare to trad and tintop.

These 25cm ones work fine and are long enough to be useful.

Be careful of too long. I'm 160 lbs, 5'10" and with the 3" extensions the belt is a little slack on the lap part. I round the get long ones unless you're obese ( or average for Americans).
