[graham John]

Warning, MK2's can seriously damage your wealth.............

Following the trip to autosport, out came the cash (again) for some much needed goodies, especially a set of seat belts to go with the seats in the above pics.........

couldnt resist the Sabalt harnesses, 3" x 3" six points, date stamped and to FIA standards, should help keep even my frame in place, good price too



Also on the lines of safety, it would break my heart if the car went up in flames (as we know they can do) therefore i was wanting to fit a decent plumbed in system, bought the lifeline 2000 4ltr system with electrical operation (didnt fancy having pull cables, and always wanted an electrical jobbie)



As with most of the "branded" gear i have bought, i purchased from Peter Lloyd Rallying (Bridgend) who was at autosport, absolutely first class advice and prices, if you are ever dealing with PLR, ask for Peter himself and say you saw it here
