Re: Another Rear Seatbelt Thread - Where to mount?

Yes that is possible, you would need some kind of guide though that directs the belt through the 90 degrees. What you need to avoid is any belt rubbing against the rubber lining the slot in the parcel shelf. The thought behind this is, in time the belt may in time wear out the rubber then start fraying on the course metal. Also the guide needs to be of a quality, possibly forged or cast steel. The reason being, if you were in an accident a weak guide could bend or give and create a longer belt for the rear passenger... which as you could imagine would make it ineffective. Unless of course the real is directly below the slot (therefore ignore that last bit). But in any case, try and imagine what forces and where they will be applied to the belt and the fixings if a person was wearing the belt in an accident. One thing I have thought is where the buckle bit is bolted to the tunnel, the belt curves around the back of the seat, I get the feeling in an accident that bit would pull tight quickly and possibly lift the back of the seat up an inch or two. Food for thought anyway.chrisryder wrote:i was imagining twisting the belt by 90 degrees in the boot, and have the roller mounted onto the inner wing in the boot.
