NicTheOrange90 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Has anyone given any thought to putting a centre 3point belt in place of the existing lapstrap? I dont think lapstraps are safe, and would like to put a 3 pointer in. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Discovery 2 vehicles have exactly that. Whether you could make a whole D2 seat fit into a D1, I don't know.... but it might be worth some measuring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 i cant think of any easy way to anchor the top corner of a 3-point belt in a D1. that would be the biggest problem i'd assume. id just go for not hitting anything, doesnt matter what sort of belt you have then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 On the D2 seat the shoulder strap is built in to the seat itself. Not hitting anything is a good idea though, I try to do that as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicTheOrange90 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 On the basis that not hitting anything is by far the best option, and getting a D2 seat etc might be the next option, how about putting a rigid bar between the two existing top mountings for the outer 2nd row seats? There are aftermarket 3 point conversion seatbelts, but they seem to need the inertia reel to be 45degrees from the seat (that would put it in the middle of the load area. I think I will get a 4 point harness http://www.securon.co.uk/seat_belts_harnesses.htm this looks like I will only need to add one more seat belt mount, but it can be close to the back/base of the seat. Its my kids in the back, and a lapstrap just aint good enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 non internia 3-point belt? could just run down the back of the seat to the original mounts then? or get a front belt out of a disco/RR & just make a 90 bracket to fit to one of the original mounts. could fit right vurtally behind the seat then.
