Rear seatbelt mounting plates positions??

Postby Retro morgs » Sun Sep 04, 2011 9:47 pm

I am in the process of fitting rear seatbelts in the back of my 4 door hc. I've got the rear seat and parcel shelf out and its fairly obvious where the mounting plates need to go other than the ones that go on the arches. It seems that my car has a couple of repair patches at the bottom of the inner arches,therefore i have no reference for mounting the plates :shock: Does anybody know if they have to be in a specific place,if so any pics or measurements?

This is the offside one in my Sportshatch looking forwards into the front edge of the wheelarch, which I removed and plated over before I sold the car. They're not there at all in the Firenza, so I assume they've been plated over in any case. Should give you an idea of position though.

The strenghtening "lip" around the plate is basically a mud trap, so unless they're inspected and cleaned very regularly, this is what happens.
