Speed Vision Earnhardt seatbelt pic
I was looking at the Speed Vision web site pic of Earnhardts seatbelts. The pic doesn't make any sense at all . I went and even looked at my two race cars and their Simpsom belts. What we have is the part that goes over the shoulder that is attached to the metal clip. And you have the part that goes through the clip that is pulled to tighten the belt. Now this is where is it wrong. The Police official pic has the part of the belt with the words Simpson and the small patch that says when the belt was made as the part you pull on to tighten the belt. This is wrong as the word Simpson goes over the shoulder and doesn't go through the clip at all but is attached to the metal clip by the factory. The only way this pic could make any sense is the belt was made upside down. Any Steward would see the belt was wrong as you don't have anything but the belt go through the metal clip not the words Simpson or the small date patch so the belt won't slip under pressure More cover up?
PS all belts are strung the same way be it Simpson, Leaf etc etc.
