THE BELTS

There are various standards that seat belts fitted to vehicles in New Zealand can meet, the most common ones being the US FMVSS standard or European ECE standard. There are a number of seat-belt specialists throughout the country who are able to supply (and install, if needed) a wide range of compliant seat-belt options. The belts installed here though were imported from a US website, chosen as they not only meet FMVSS standards but also feature retractors that work on both a horizontal and vertical mounting angle and have a retro ‘aeroplane-style’ buckle to match the previously-installed front lap belts.
