Rear Seats and Legalities

<< < (2/2)

yer auld aunt nelly:
ive got 2 forward facing seats with 3 point belts.That i want rid of and im looking for a pair of bench seats and belts if thats any help to any one :lol:

Priglet:
I've had a quick look at the bench seats in mine - sorry couldn't find camera.

There's a steel tube which runs along behind the seat. It's fairly substantial and is attached to the wheel arch in 4 places, once at each end and there's a stay between each passenger. I suspect for a 90 there'll be one less bolt to worry about. The seatbelts are attached to the tube fairly close to where it's bolted to the vehicle.

Bolts look at least 17mm and there's steel plate on the underside of the wheel arch to stop them pulling through.

Ben:
I wondered if I'd need to get belt bars. I'll have to have a serious dig through at all the auto jumbles to try to find a pair. I guess these are more stable than having the belts directly to the tub, even if I use big spreader plates sandwiched around the aluminium.

That'll be a want ad then  :D

Thanks

Ben
