18.5mm sounds like a candidate for about an SAE 15/16" to me. I'd look at the Yank stuff, assuming you were serious. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick J.

And yes, they are 2 point safety harness-style. Probably killed more people than they saved. My Square came without seat belts at all. They were not required in Finland until 1971 - something I enjoy explaining to the local police whenever they pull me over during one of their, "seat belt enforcement campaigns." I have had to prove the year make of my Square (1967) so that I can escape being issued a citation on several ocassions. One local foot patrolman has stopped me twice! He wasn't too amused when asked him if he would be interested in doing some real police work instead, like finding out who stole my bicycle. "Oh, thank God ... the police." - Fletch In the spirit of safety, I do have a set of roller belts from a late model Beetle (Dark Side?) ... which are resting in the front trunk until I figure out how to retro-actively install them. Anyone have a 18.5mm wratchet to loan me? There you have it. Patrick Patrick Joel Morton Rauhankatu 28 as 27 FIN -- 20100 TURKU Finland, E.U.
