[peenee]

Do you mean keep the original belts as well ???

If you have suitably fitted harnesses you do not need the original seat belts as well.

ive had a few cars with harnesses and had no problems with mot, thay just checked them like normal seatbelts ie anchor points and if the belts are not frayed.

So fellas what is the answer then can i take out my original seatbelts amd just use a proper installed 4 point harness or not ?

cheers fro the inputt lads

Yes

i am surprised at that if it is true
i was always under the impression that if it had them fitted as standard it had to have them fitted for the mot
it cant be true i am never wrong
why not just leave them in anyway?
what if you where just nipping to the shop or something? would you not rather use a normal belt instead of the messing about for a couple of minutes driving?

my car is me toy got other transport for popping to the shops

The only thing to consider is whether you have a roll cage or not, if you're wearing harnesses you can't duck in the unfortunate event that you roll your car over and a cage will prevent the roof crushing your head

MOT wise I've never had an issue with harnesses and no standard seat belts fitted
