General Seat belt installation.

[Leo6]

Hi All

I am wanting to install seat belts to the two fronts seats of my 500F and was wondering if any members could share a photo of their seat belt installations. Thanks.

Hi Leo, here's mine, inertia units fitted using existing belt mounting points

Hi Huge Jarce.

Thanks for the photos. I believe my Fiat has the same mounting holes. Handy to see how it’s all meant to look.

I used Sabelt 500/30 (as recommended by others on here). I got them from Paddock Spares - they are intended for Series Land Rovers and include various brackets etc. which enable them to be fitted satisfactorily for a 500, though I did have to reverse the orientation of the tongue by folding over the belt and feeding it through (does that make sense?). All existing mounting points used on my 1971 500L

Good work! Thanks for your help.

...actually Securon 500/30, not Sabelt

Also, the receivers could really do with angle brackets to position them better, as otherwise the stems gave to twist a bit and are tight against the edge of the seat. They're not included in that kit, so I've just ordered some from a separate supplier (Belt-Up Safety Products)
