Re: Re: New SIIA Dormobile – help please!
Hi,
I was wishing I had ordered inertial reels that worked at an angle (I didn’t know the difference when I ordered). The placement on the capping would be clean. As far as sttructural stability, it’s steel rather than aluminum. The hole is there to support the middle seat of the 10-seater by a thumbscrew.
The placement I chose (was constrained to) is anchored in aluminum, but it’s through a 1.25″ box-section support. The seatbelt doesn’t interfere with the folding of the seat. I should note that the bolt in my C-post is also tacked to a square washer so it doesn’t spin in place as you tighten the nut. The previous owner installed it for a lap belt.
John you didn’t mention if your front seatbelts were working but if it’s of interest: my reels are mounted with a single 12mm bolt on the rear of the seatbox. For each reel, I enlarged one of the holes which is used to mount the seatbox to the chassis (on the right side, it also holds the gas bottle cage). So this seatbelt is anchored on the chassis. The other 2 mounting points are the standard ones: on the B-Post anchor (special part) and on the side of the seatbox.
