Seat belt upper mounting

Post by Bill_qaz »

The factory position upper seatbelts mounting position on my 4 door is too high on the B pillar and puts the belt too close to your neck rather than shoulder.I have been searching sometime for a suitable solution. I found mgb brackets at MGOC Spares Ltd and fitted them making the position much better. I thought this maybe good info for anyone with similar issue. I don't have the seat riser blocks as prefer it without, so obviously the lower the seat and your stature :lol: makes it more of an issue.

Would it have been too low if you fitted it to the lower hole (obscured by the more textured part of the webbing)?

Yes I think that maybe too low but also didn’t know there was a lower hole, is that standard on all 4 door. If so I could hold it in that position to try before putting a hole in the trim, if it still is uncomfortable, but haven't driven yet with the new mounting position.

Yes, see the Morris/BMC W/Shop manual Sect R.37, for fitting instructions. 4Dr & Traveller.
