My old '88 9000 had these explosive seatbelts and they were connected. No airbags. > I have > contacted the Saab website to see if this belt system can be sent in the > mail; in this case it would be by air mail. Are you crazy? The Saab workshop manual states that you shouldn't even try to remove them from the car unless they have been fired. If the belt has to be replaced the old belt has to be fired before it is removed from the car. The workshop manual have instructions on how this should be done in a safe way. This is not something I would send by airmail! > all were fitted with this explosive type, and that they can only be > transported by licenced operators.

It is not a question of what is unsafe, it is a question about what the law has to say about handling and transporting explosives. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com
