Rear seatbelt conversion

Hi,

 

I know this has been covered before but i cant find any threads.

 

Im looking for details on converting the Japspec lap belts. Hopefully a step by step idiots guide?

 

OR has anybody used a garage in Scotland to carry out the conversion?

 

Any help/advice much appreciated.

 

Cheers People.

    Very simple process really. Get UK spec or Series 2 spec lower interior. Get the 3 point belts, strip rear interior and then just bolt them to the chassis.

     

    The mounting points and threads are there on a series 1 Jap spec car, just Nissan for some strange reason didnt use them. You could in theory do the same for the front seats but the mounting point at the top doesnt have a thread so you wont be able to do so unless you can figure out how to weld some nut there... personally I wouldnt risk it!

    As above, recently converted my 1990 import - got a set of uk 3-point belts from the "for sale" section. relatively easy job to do, all the mount points are under the interior trim/seat, hardest bit is removing the trim that goes up around the rear hatch struts - 'pita' (make sure you support the hatch before you do this bit). The belts are side specific, will only attach/work on the correct side and don't worry if the belt mechanism locks before it goes on the car - it'll free itself once attached properly!!

    One word of warning though, make sure you get all the bits for the belts - including the short 'catch' section that bolts to the floor under the seat as the lap-belt 'catch' doesn't lock very well with the UK bit!!

    Sounds a lot more involved than it actually is, shouldn't take more than a couple of hours - have fun,

    Cheers,

    Steve
