reversed the seat now want to fit 2 extra lap belts..ideas?

Post by Etienne & Katie » Fri Mar 20, 2009 11:26 am

Hi,

has anyone fitted two lap belts to the middle bench (reversed) (i think Dago has but cant seem to PM him.)
I was looking and cant see any obvious mounting points. (On the bench seat not on Dago!!!!)
I would prefer if they were fitted on the seat like the existing lap belt, so they can move the bench easily.

I haven't got them yet, i assume i would need Bongo ones to work, but.... i kind of like the idea of inertia reels... only a thought but just asking what peoples thoughts are on the matter.

Cheers

Bolt them on to the rear bottom bolt that holds the seat down, you'll have to cut a slot in the plastic cover, works fine though & totally secure.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

We fitted some Toyota estima inertia lap belts. I will try and find pics for you. You can pick some up from the scrap yard. Just check they lock when under pressure tho'.

Saves all the faffing around with re-ajustment when you have different passengers.

I shifted the centre one from the middle seats to one end, put the centre one from the rear folding seats on the other end, and used an old BMW lap belt on the centre seat. This was just because the BMW one was black and it looked more symmetrical.
