seat belts

Post by hydroguy2 »

I'm thinking about ordering some Crow seat belts. But have 1 question.

What's the scoop? Kamlock or Standard or Duckbill latches. I like the Kamlocks, but also wonder about clearance with my ample mid-section.

That is a concern... I am adjusting my stick more forward at neutral to compensate....

Brian (Brantel), in your talks with Fred, was there ever any discussion on discounts when ordered in small groups? Like 5 sets? 10 sets? I'm ready to order my belts...

Never really discussed a discount.. I know others over on the VAF have said that they talked to him about it but I am not sure.

The price is very reasonable regardless. I don't know how they make money on them as is so I bet it will be tough to get a group buy.

Give em a call. They are easy to talk to people....

I recall the group buy was discussed on VAF a while ago. I think it fell through due to the requirement to be a paid advertiser, also i think the mark up is very low.

But if someone does the leg work, I will definitely order.

If this happens, I am in for a set for my 8. I have a set of hookers, but the color is not what I want.

Even better, I bought them from another builder. He sent them to me along with an invoice on a plain piece of paper for "Hooker harness-$300" My wife saw the invoice on the counter in the house(the belts were in the shop).

Needless to say, she asked a question :o

Is the harness so they don't run away?

It wasn't about the name as it was the beauty.

What, are we getting back on topic?

I am curious also. Do they have the measurements for the standard belts needed for the RV's? Or do we need to try and measure them?

What was the verdict on the buckle style?
