Product Catalogue
Restraint components,
set out for
international enquiry.
Five product groups, each describing a type of requirement that can be discussed. This is a catalogue of categories and considerations — not an online shop, and not a list of parts held on a shelf.
How to use this catalogue
What it is not
iiThere are no prices, stock levels, part numbers, availability statements or shipping rates on this site. Nothing here can be added to a basket, because that is not how a safety-related component should be bought.
Technical information
iiiTechnical information can be discussed according to the specific product requirement. No specifications are published here that have not been verified against an actual product.
01
Three-Point Seatbelt Assemblies
The shoulder-and-lap configuration used across most modern passenger seating positions, supplied as a complete assembly rather than as separate parts.
A three-point assembly is a system: webbing, retractor, shoulder guide, tongue plate, buckle receiver and the mounting hardware that ties it to the vehicle structure. Its behaviour comes from how those elements work together, which is why the assembly is normally discussed and supplied as one item rather than assembled from separately sourced components.
Assemblies differ by seating position, by the geometry of the mounting points, by webbing length and travel, and by how the retractor is packaged. Two assemblies that look alike in a photograph may not interchange. Establishing the vehicle, the seating position and the mounting arrangement is what makes an enquiry answerable.
Application considerations
- Which seating position — driver, front passenger, outer rear or another position.
- How the assembly mounts, and where the anchorage points sit.
- Webbing length and the extent of travel the position needs.
- Whether the requirement is for a complete assembly or a component within one.
Technical data. Technical information can be discussed according to the specific product requirement.
02
Lap & Two-Point Belts
Two-point restraint arrangements used in centre seating positions, bench seating and specific vehicle layouts.
A two-point belt restrains across the lap only. It remains in use where the seating layout or vehicle structure does not carry a shoulder anchorage — centre rear positions in some vehicles, certain bench arrangements, and particular commercial and specialist layouts.
Because two-point belts are often simpler mechanically, they are sometimes assumed to be interchangeable. They are not. Webbing length, buckle type, adjuster arrangement and the anchorage geometry still determine whether a given belt suits a given position, and a two-point belt should never be treated as a substitute for a three-point arrangement in a position designed for one.
Application considerations
- The seating position and why a two-point arrangement is specified for it.
- Buckle and adjuster type, and how the belt is released.
- Webbing length and the range of adjustment required.
- Anchorage points available in the vehicle structure at that position.
Technical data. Technical information can be discussed according to the specific product requirement.
03
Retractable Seatbelt Systems
Belt systems built around a retractor, which manages webbing take-up and controls how the belt behaves in normal use.
The retractor is the part of a seatbelt system that most affects how it feels to the occupant: how freely webbing pays out, how it takes up slack, and how it responds when the vehicle moves. It is also the part most tightly bound to the specific vehicle installation, because the housing must package into the pillar, seat or body structure it was designed for.
Retractor requirements are therefore rarely satisfied by a generic equivalent. The mounting arrangement, orientation, webbing exit direction and the space available around the housing all narrow what will actually fit. Photographs of the installed position are usually more useful here than any written description.
Application considerations
- Where the retractor mounts, and in what orientation.
- The direction webbing exits the housing at the installed position.
- Space and clearance available around the housing.
- Whether the requirement is a retractor alone or the assembly it belongs to.
Technical data. Technical information can be discussed according to the specific product requirement.
04
Buckles, Receivers & Tongue Plates
The engagement components — the tongue plate that inserts, and the buckle receiver that holds and releases it.
Tongue and receiver are a matched pair. The slot geometry, plate thickness, latch arrangement and release mechanism are designed together, and a tongue that physically enters a receiver is not the same thing as a tongue that belongs in it. This is the single most common source of confusion in component-level seatbelt enquiries.
Receivers also differ in how they mount — on a stalk, on a webbing section, or directly to structure — and in the length and stiffness of that mounting. When enquiring about either half, it helps enormously to photograph both, together, from more than one angle.
Application considerations
- Whether you need the tongue, the receiver, or the matched pair.
- How the receiver mounts, and the length of its stalk or webbing section.
- The release arrangement and how it is operated at that seating position.
- Any markings visible on either component.
Never mix unmatched engagement components. A tongue and receiver should only be used as the matched pair they were designed as. Suitability must be confirmed by a competent person for the specific vehicle and seating position.
05
Webbing & Restraint Components
Webbing sections, guides, height adjusters, anchor plates and related parts, enquired about individually rather than as a full assembly.
Component-level requirements come up constantly: a damaged shoulder guide, a height adjuster that no longer holds, an anchor plate lost during a repair, a webbing section that needs replacing. These are legitimate enquiries and often the most practical way to resolve a problem — provided the component is identified properly and its role in the assembly is understood.
What matters at component level is context. The same guide or adjuster can appear in several assemblies with different geometry, and a part that mounts is not necessarily a part that belongs. Tell us what the component sits within, not just what the component is.
Application considerations
- The assembly the component belongs to, and its seating position.
- Webbing width and length where a webbing section is involved.
- How the component mounts and what it bears against.
- Whether replacing the component alone genuinely resolves the requirement.
Technical data. Technical information can be discussed according to the specific product requirement.
Technical Data
What you will not find
written on this page.
Publishing unverified numbers about a safety-related component is worse than publishing none. So none of the following appears anywhere on this website:
- Tensile strength or load ratings
- Webbing width, length or thickness figures
- Buckle, tongue or receiver dimensions
- Retractor specifications or locking behaviour figures
- Material grades or construction specifications
- Model numbers, part numbers or OEM references
- Certification numbers or approval references
- Manufacturer names or brand attributions
- Prices, stock levels, availability or shipping rates
Technical information can be discussed — against a specific product and a specific requirement, where it can be confirmed rather than asserted. Raise what you need to know in your enquiry and it will be addressed directly, including where the answer is that we cannot confirm it.
