Default How to install seatbelts?

I took my interior out to sort out welding etc and now starting to put it all back in. All in except the seat belts. How do they connect to the top of the pillar? I have 2 round oval things with a hole in the middle and a small bit of metal sticking out left and loads of bolts. Does anyone have any photos? Ive looked in the haynes manual but it doesnt look the same as me. As soon as i get this sorted i can get it motd!!

I just passed that part on my car so i will try to explain, but my english isn't that good so i will give it a go:

I don't know if you have front and rear lose. If so the ones with a extra, big aluminum bush is for the rears.

For the front you take one of the seatbelts, put it in the sidepanel. So first you but it behind the metal strokes of the chassis of the car and then you pull it towards yoursels. So the big part of the seatsbelts is on the outside of the metal. The little pins on the seatbelt will make sure it's in position. take one of the bolts and fasten it. then the *don't know how you call it* but top part of the seatbelt will go on the B-style with one of the bolts. then the last part next to the seats there is a steel bar fastent to the sidebars of the chassis and the other end is put in a hole with a plastic. Take it out slide the open part of the seatbelt in it and fasten it again.

Job done...


I know it's not the best guide, but it's all i can do for you. If you don't get it send me pm and i will see if i have some pics for you.

Good luck

so those big metal bush things are for the rear. I think thats where i was getting lost. On the pillar behind the front seats there is a big thread for a bolt but underneath that about an inch is a smaller hole. Is that used?
Thanks for the info.
