Trying to figure out how and where to anchor the rear seat belts. I have an aftermarket set with inertia reel that is a lap/shoulder combo.
-Thanks

Should this sort of post go in Mechanical section?

Sorry for the double posting.
Traveller.
I guess I've seen pics of them anchored in the back bay, I think on the wheel well, but dont' know where to put the other slider part.

I'll try to remember to take some pictures later. You've got three points for each belt: the reel goes on top of the wheel arch, the fixed end goes on the side of the wheel arch down the side of the rear seat base (lift it up to get access), and the stalk goes in the middle of the floor panel under the seat. There is no slider with this arrangement.
To be honest they're not very comfortable because of the odd location of the reel.

Mine are set on the rear wheel arches - with large plates below. And the other two mounts are in the rear floor just underneath the rear seat.
Edit -Crossed post with above ^^^ - I agree they are not comfortable and probably not effective either because the rear seat back is only held by two garden gate latches!

It's sometimes a bit tricky to get the gripping mechanism in the reel adjusted correctly - I find there is a very fine window of adjustment where it lets the belt run out when you pull it!

Glad mine is like Alex with 2 sliding bolts rather than latches.
