The Seatbelt Planet 1973-1980 Ferrari 308GT4, Driver & Passenger Seat Belt Kit, sold by Vintage Car Radio, brings modern restraint to Ferrari’s first mid-engine 2+2 without disturbing the car’s distinctive Bertone-designed character.

When the 308GT4 appeared, it marked a clear departure for Ferrari. The mid-mounted V8, transverse gearbox and angular Bertone body created a more practical exotic than the pure two-seat models of the time. Small rear seats and a slightly higher roofline made the car usable for occasional extra passengers or longer journeys, while the chassis and engine still delivered genuine Ferrari performance. Drivers sat in a low, focused position with the V8 stacked behind them, producing the sharp responses and distinctive soundtrack that defined the model. What did not evolve at the same pace was the original restraint equipment. Factory belts from this era have typically lost strength and color, buckles have grown unreliable, and many cars have had the belts removed or replaced
with incorrect items during earlier work.

This kit from Seatbelt Planet supplies a complete pair of 3-point belts configured for the 308GT4’s front seating positions. The webbing is dense, UV-stable polyester chosen for consistent strength and appearance over time. Color options allow matching to the range of interiors found in these cars. The buckles are precision metal units with a chrome finish and a firm, positive action. Matching hardware keeps the installation looking deliberate and in keeping with the cabin’s original design language.

All components are manufactured to surpass FMVSS 209 and 302 requirements for tensile strength and flame resistance. The straps adjust across a wide range so different drivers and passengers can achieve a correct, comfortable fit without altering the low seating position that is central to the car’s feel.

Mounting is intended to utilize the existing floor structure wherever practical. The kit contains the required fasteners and brackets. In most cases only minor work is needed. 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.

Owners who still use their 308GT4s for real driving—whether on preferred roads, club events or longer trips—gain a clear improvement in everyday security. The front seats receive proper three-point protection while the car’s unique blend of mid-engine performance and occasional practicality remains unchanged.

Vintage Car Radio supplies the complete Seatbelt Planet kit with the correct hardware and guidance, keeping the installation process clear for both professional workshops and experienced owners.

The result is a clean, effective update that lets the 308GT4’s distinctive character be enjoyed with greater assurance. The car keeps its identity; the front seats simply become properly equipped. Order from Vintage Car Radio and bring the restraint system in line with the rest of this pioneering Ferrari 2+2.
