sometimes, the units aren't quite at the correct angle, and that makes 'em
more sensitive.

Don't fit second hand ones, if a belt has been involved in a crash it
may not be functioning properly but you can't necessarily tell, that's
why they should always be replaced after a crash. Unbranded ones are
only £23 for an inertial reel type and less for lap belts from
Paddocks, I've seen the same ones for only £15 at rallies. I've just
fitted a pair to my 109 because the old ones are fraid and of unknown
history, my life's worth £23 !.
