Hemco was originally in Brunswick, Victoria and made aftermarket seat belts in the 70s, mainly sold through accessory shops.They were not made for specific vehicles but as a general purpose application or suitable for various models. In later life they moved to Ballarat but ADR and stringent testing required seat belts made for a particular vehicle to be crash tested.This meant that they could sell a general purpose belt after having one tested. But if they specified a particular car meant that a belt had to be fitted to a vehicle as listed and the vehicle crash tested.Not a good idea and if there was a fault then it was back to the start. Eventually they changed to making safety and lifting harness type gear.
