Juliano’s has just released its new stiff arm lap belts, designed for cars without factory retractable seat belts. The rigid arm keeps the seat belt from falling out the door and chipping the rocker or running board.
The design will work for any car without adequate room for a bulky unwind housing. The 13-inch rigid arm comes with a 61-inch-long adjustable belt. It has a total length of 74 inches.
The belts are made exactly like the original OEM equipment and meet all FVSS specifications, according to Juliano’s.
