Hiya!

Finally started my open wood surgey on the car! Have got as far as removing the seatbelts and hit my 1st problem... how do i remove the 'seatbelt wood capping'... i can't see/work out how to remove it with the seat belt guide attached...how do i remove the guide?

Thanks

Pictures would be good to be able to tell you what you have to do as seat belt fittings can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer

The guide or the upper anchor point will have a plastic cover at the top, the securing bolt it underneath. A little tip, before removing the belts completly to stop the belt retracting place a cloths peg on the belt at the top of the reel, this will help in refitting. The wood capping I beleive is screwed into place.

The wood capping is held in place with 4 screws, the 2 at the top can be seen in photo below, but as indicated above, you need to remove the seatbelt top bracket before the wood can be removed. My seatbelt have a round plastic cap covering the seatbelt bolt (see below), I believe some have a plastic cover over the whole top bracket.[frame][/frame]

Thanks for the replies! I have got all 4 screws out however my seat belt bracket is completely plastic with no obvious 'cap' ... there is a screw that i can just about see on the rear of it but this is all but unreachable...

with out a photo to go on I'd say you have to lever the triangular cover off the top and swing it down to uncover the bolt holding the top bracket

Right i hav managed to get it off and unscrew'd! I used a screw driver and levered the plastic cover off, as suggested! Moving onto head lining!

Hope to have this sorted by the centenary
