About the Single Belt for the MG Midget
The Midget's light weight and quick steering made it a favorite with young drivers and club racers alike.
Pre-Install Checklist
Inspect the anchor point and clean the threads.
Good to Know
One belt.
Note your color choice for a future second belt.
Lift latch buckles suit the car's British style.
A fresh belt is a small but welcome improvement.
The Midget's cabin is small, and a retracting belt with a lift latch buckle keeps the strap tidy.
Lift latch buckles are easy to operate and period-correct.
The Midget was built from 1961 to 1979, and these early seventies cars are popular with collectors.
Keep a note of the shade for any later twin.
Choose a darker shade if the top is often down.
A fresh belt is a small but welcome improvement.
The MG Midget is light, quick and simple, and its small cabin makes every detail stand out. A fresh belt with a lift latch buckle makes the cockpit look and feel better.
The 1972-1974 cars in this range kept chrome bumpers before the rubber-bumper cars arrived for 1975. Many enthusiasts prefer these chrome-bumper Midgets.
This belt covers one seat, either the driver or the passenger side. A two-belt kit is also available.
It is a three-point design that winds onto a reel.
Midgets are popular with club racers and weekend drivers alike, and fresh belts keep them pleasant to drive.
Because the Midget is often driven with the top down, belts face sun and rain. A darker shade and a cockpit cover when parked help protect the webbing.
A single belt is often enough when the driver's side has worn out and the passenger side is still in good condition.
Before ordering, compare the color of the remaining belt in daylight so the new one will be a close match.
Seatbelt Planet lists this belt for either bucket seat of the 1972-1974 convertible.
Midget owners often refresh the interior one piece at a time, and a single belt fits that approach well.
Lift latch buckles open by raising the cover plate, a simple, reliable design.
The small cockpit puts the belt close at hand.
One fresh belt can make the Midget's cockpit look cared for again.
