AlastairC Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi AllI need to fit rear seat belts to my stag fairly urgently. Can anyone send me a reasonably detailed description of how to do this? I understand that its not particulkarly difficult and that some of the required fittings are already in the car. I want to fit the recoil type belts. Any thoughts please to alastair.cox@nzqa.govt.nzcheersAlastair Cox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StagNL Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Fitted static belts to mine recently. Nothing was available on the car to use so drilled 4 holes and used wide and sturdy washers to give extra strength to the mounting. Two in the middle behind the seat mounting to the floor as it rises over the diff. The others one each side in the wheel arch sides.Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlastairC Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Also mine is a 1975 mk2 and an australian spec car which im led to believe are the same as the american spec cars? I wonder if they had seat belt fittings when they came out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenderson Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Mountings are provided for lap-only belts, and it might be possible to include a retractor. I wouldn't recommend attempting to fit lap/diagonal belts as there is no proper support for the shoulder section.RegardsSteve H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 There have been quite a few threads on rear seat belts on the SOC forum, if you do a search for "rear seat belts" quite a few different threads come up, I'm sure there'll be some help there. For what it's worth I've got 2 point static lap belts in the back of mine, but I very rarely have anyone in the back seat.Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenderson Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 There are other threads on this forum too, which hopefully will assist.Steve H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlastairC Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 didnt realise that there is virtually nothing behind the back of the back seat. I know this is the case with the mk1 2000 saloons and I have heard of one case where a stael panel has been added and welded in to add more strength - this was for a targa Tour car though. Not sure if it would add much value in the stag case though given that other than at the sdies and the bottom there is nothing to attach it to and so probably wouldnt add much strength or benefit the addition of rear horizontal seatbelts.
