Technical Mk1 Rear Seat Belts

[panda1408]

Very early Mk1s seem to have lots of of little differences like this, wouldn't be surprised if they were forgotten about on the very early cars

My Sisley had 3 point belts fitted at some point before I owned it (I have an invoice for belts and fitting, late 1990s I think) I presumed it must have not had them before that, but maybe it had the floaty reel lap type ones. It has factory mounting points for 3 point belts, so I would guess all Mk2s do. Still not much use for David though

It is weird. Here's a pic showing what mounts there are - and aren't! Will have a good trawl of the seatbelt provider's info. Ideally I do want 3 point (4 point!?) belts for the booster/babyseat, but the only way I can think of achieving that is welding in new mounts behind the trim panel....

...unless you could have the inertia reels directly attached to the C-pillar mounting point (using the ones Palio showed, above)...? But they might interfere with the rear window openers....

Hmm, will investigate. Thanks for the tips and info. And I also found these which might do the trick - no inertia reel = no need for inertia reel mount!

Ooh: those would look nice in Pippin -- but I'll stick with what I've got... -- they should also solve your problem...! Well done, that man!

Do they come with the necessary bolts, etc.?

I would say that it was designed for static belts like I have on the 126. Inertia belts would of been far too posh for the back of a panda lol
