Fitting seatbelts

Post by SvMinor »

Has anyone ever bought and fitted front and rear Inertia seatbelts from Bull Motif?Was gonna ring them today but I forgot!

The fitting instructions are minimal that come with the belts,so I looked at the manual,the instructions there are not very clear either,

I was just wondering if the bolts thread themselves into the holes I have to drill out,because each belt has 4 bolts but only 1 nut for fitting.

Cheers Mark

Merry Christmas To All

Yes - there should be threaded captive nuts in the B pillar, IF your car was fitted with mounts! You will need to put a nut on the bolt going through the transmission tunnel.

If you don't have captive nuts, strengthen the steel where you bolt the belts to the car. But be careful of the handbrake cable when fitting to the tunnel. ;)

My car is 1960 and I was reading other posts on the subject and I think that mounting points were not added til later.

My car is 1966, but I have threaded mounting points in the B-post... only a D bolted into the rail under the rear side windows, a threaded hole in the sill (toward the back) and then a hole in the transmission tunnel for the buckle. Should I have interia mounting points?!

I was fitting 3 point harnesses as I don't like the look of the inertia reels in the car, though I worry it might be a bit constricting!

Mark,
There are backing plates available with welded on nuts for seatbelt installation-see the links below and my earlier post.
