Re: Re: Rear seat belts
Malcolm,
I tried fitting the rear belts in this way to the side post because this is what I had seen on Defenders with standard rear seating. However I found it impossible to get a wrench onto the nut inside the post, to tighten the bolt. Did you use backplates with a nut welded on? If so, where did you get them? (Is it the VW source mentioned?). Were you required to have additional strenghteners or load-distributing plates under the mounting point in the floor? I know that Defenders have seatbelt mounts at this point that go all the way through the floor and down to the chassis.
Pictures of the two lower mounting points would be much appreciated (the shoulder point is a standard part, so it’s obvious to me how it fits).
Thanks,
Jeremy
