What the heck is a CG-Lock you say? -
http://www.cg-lock.com/home.htm
I'm interested. Does this thing "lock" both the lap and the shoulder belt, or just the lap belt? I'm guessing it just locks the lap portion, since it doesn't [appear to] affect the shoulder belt retractor. joe.MIATA, I'm gonna have to get you to show me the "fixing the shoulder belt, skooching into it so that it's tight" thing you do.
I think it will affect both. There is only one retractor for both the lap and shoulder belt.
I would be interested in two possibly.
Here is the latest from CG-Lock. I offered to buy 1 for myself so I could show it around to the group, and below is his reply!
Sam,
The Team here at CG-Lock has decided to take a risk...we will send you, via Federal Express, a CG-Lock loaner for the weekend.
If you "aggressively" show it around, and then tell us you honestly believe
you generated sales for us, you may keep it - free. Otherwise, you can send it back or buy it.
(We are car nuts, and we understand!)
To what address should we send the CG-Lock? We will send it "no signature required" so the address can be residential (but not a PO Box). Also, Fed Ex requires a phone number - be sure to give us yours.

Give me a good review guys. I plan on eventually getting a 5 or 6 point harness but if this works great I might get it to use until I can buy the harness.

Looking forward to trying it out this Sunday! :thumleft: I have lots of CG-Lock handouts to hand out!
Do you have any pictures? What is required to install this in the car??
When did you talk to the man? My handmade mod still isn't here, and I'm sure yours came with it attached. What does the mod look like? I may be forced to cut the honeymoon short and make my own :?Quote:

Uh... If he was even cheaper, he'd use the seat belt clamp that comes free with any kid's car seat :rambo:
Yes we can! It only takes a minute or two to install. You too onething!Quote:

After driving an event with the CG-Lock, I have to give it a thumbs up! :thumleft: It will anchor your arse to the seat and IMHO is a very good addition for anyone who doesn't have a harness.
Kestrel ran with it as well, and he seemed to like it. I'll let him speak for himself.
Unfortunately, onething was still having technical difficulties due to the shape of his buckle. Sometime between '99 and '01 the shape changed, and this version of the CG-Lock doesn't seem to 'grab' on to the buckle.
We are still trying to put a group buy together, so chime in and answer the poll if you want one! If we get 10 or more buyers, we will be able to buy them for ~$30 each shipped.
i would like to get a CG-Lock too. i have voted yes and my e-mail address is [email protected]. thank you very much.
by the way, how much extra do i need to pay to ship it to 77057?
Thanks hahaha...I'm not sure how much extra shipping will be. I'm going to guess around $3-4. As soon as we get all of our buyers in order, I will gather up who they are, get their money and place an order.Quote:

I'll only need to make one small cut in the belt.
I can get a buckle for you from Mazda Heaven if you want. My question is how do you get the replacement buckle on your belt? I didn't think they came apart like that? :scratch:Quote:

The short story is this - 10 CG-Locks will cost us $29.97 each shipped. 4-6 will cost us $32.90 each shipped. For a $3 savings do you/we want to wait to scrape up more buyers, or pull the trigger now?
If you are in, let me know ASAP! (and how many you want) Also let me know what year your Miata is so I can get the correct model from Bruce. I will need to collect all the money before I place the order.
Thanks!
PS
hahaha yours will cost a bit more since I will have to send yours to Houston myself. The group buy will only ship to 1 address.
I'm jiggy wif it...
Sine me up fer one of dem der thangs...
