Neil C Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hello, I'd appreciate comments on whether fitting rear seat belts in a soft top herald is possible and suggestions for a fitter in Surrey?Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma fud Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Without major strengthening you are really restricted to lap type belts who's effectiveness in an accident are limited but you may say something is better than nothing, While l have been rebuilding my herald it has given me the oppurtunity to reinforce the rear loop behind the seat so l can fit inertia real 3 point seat belts front and rear. The seat belt runs will need shielding from the hood material when the hood is in the stowed position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elma fud Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 This is the extra frame work l have added to my herald, you can see the front seat belt upper D loop fixing at the top of the B pillar and the bracket at the bottom of the B pillar for the front retractor.For the rear l have removed the formed brace and added 1 inch box, then added a brace down to the lower B pillar with a further brace going to the wheel arch.
