Seat belt bar

Recommended Posts

Dear All

A while back, some time last summer, I stumbled across a nice tidy series 3 landrover with the soft top removed.

Across the top of the bulkhead was a sturdy looking bar on to which were fitted the seat belts inertia reels, does anyone know where yo can buy such a thing as I need to fit one to my series 2a so my young son can sit in the front with me.

Thanks in advance

I'm looking at similar options myself to add a 3 point belt to the centre seat.

I think the kind of bar that you talking about is shown in this thread but cant help any more than that.

Anybody got any good ideas about how to fit a 3 point belt for the centre seat in a truck cab? What sort of reinforcing should be used to add the 'upper' mount to the bulkhead?

The one mentioned in that topic is still available on ebay:

Seems expensive at £105 delivered but from looking around it's actually quite cheap - and it's the easiest way to do it.

Still some speculation on how safe the method is as it's still likely to be lower than your shoulder

If you are looking for info on good practice when installing seat belts then the SVA (apologies to the ostriches on here) manual is very useful. Download the 2004 version here

For what it's worth, in my opinion that Ebay bar is good for what it was designed for but, as it stands, it is not suitable for mounting a centre three point belt.
