1972-1979 TVR 3000M, Driver & Passenger, Seat Belt Kit
Seatbelt Planet's 1972-1979 TVR 3000M, Driver & Passenger, Seat Belt Kit. 3 Point Retractable Lap & Shoulder Seat Belt Kit with End Release Buckle
The Seatbelt Planet 1972-1979 TVR 3000M Driver & Passenger Seat Belt Kit, sold by Vintage Car Radio, closes a long-standing safety gap in one of the quickest M-series cars while leaving its raw, focused nature intact.
Fitted with the Ford Essex 3.0-liter V6, the 3000M delivered noticeably stronger acceleration and higher cruising ability than its four-cylinder and smaller six-cylinder relatives. The same short-wheelbase chassis, glass-fibre body and minimalist cockpit remained, so the extra power made the car feel even more alive on open roads. Drivers sat low, close to the centre line, with little between them and the mechanicals. What did not keep pace was the original restraint equipment. After more than forty years the factory belts are typically faded, stretched or missing, leaving a clear mismatch between the car’s performance and the protection it offers.
This kit from Seatbelt Planet replaces both front positions with full 3-point belts made for the 3000M’s seating layout. The webbing uses dense, UV-stable polyester that holds its strength and appearance over time. Colour choices cover the common interior shades found in these cars. The buckles are machined metal with a chrome finish and a firm, positive action. Matching chrome hardware keeps the installation looking deliberate rather than added-on.
Every component is manufactured to surpass FMVSS 209 and 302 requirements for strength and flame resistance. The straps adjust across a wide range so different drivers and passengers can achieve a correct, comfortable fit without upsetting the low seating position that defines the car.
Mounting points are intended to utilise the existing floor structure wherever practical. All required fasteners come in the box. Only minor work is usually needed, which helps preserve the original construction. Critical note: torque settings and assembly steps must be taken exclusively from the printed instructions supplied with the kit. Correct tightening is essential for the system to perform as designed; never substitute general figures.
Owners who still use their 3000Ms hard—whether on preferred back roads, club meets or longer fast tours—gain a clear improvement in everyday security. The new belts raise the level of protection without adding bulk or changing the intimate, mechanical feel of the cockpit.
Vintage Car Radio ships the complete Seatbelt Planet kit with the proper hardware and guidance, so the job stays straightforward for both professional fitters and competent home mechanics.
The result is a clean, effective update that lets the 3000M’s performance be enjoyed with greater assurance. The car keeps its distinctive character; the front seats simply become properly equipped for the speeds it can reach. Order from Vintage Car Radio and bring the restraint system in line with the rest of this potent classic TVR.
