Default 88' passive seatbelt recall?

Is this something that jaguar will still honor today? The project car I have doesn't even have a latch on the frame anymore as the previous owner must've tried to fix it themselves and didn't succeed. So all I have is a lap belt in the driverside at the moment. So either jaguar fixes it or I need to figure out a traditional 3 point belt system. I don't want that crap anyway, unless it was working like new.

EU models came standard with a normal 3 point belt (all manually operated). I'd just get the parts from ROW instead of USA and done...

Yes.

But....call first. Part availability has varied from spotty to non-existent at times over the years

And.... as I recall the recall (heh heh) covered certain specific failures and parts. I can virtually promise that it wouldn't cover missing parts or botched previous repairs.

I'd go with converting back to conventional seat belts as well

Cheers

yeah once I have all the mechanicals sorted I'll talk with the local Jaguar dealer and see what they say. Too bad the original owner never had it fixed. Jaguar will probably laugh at me. I'm guessing a nice easy 3 point system will be in the future. Ha
