Ex Member Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Yes, i've owned 3. Your point is? One should do something dangerous just because its a Defender? If you mean that the belt mounts are direct to correct points, then thats one step better (if he hasn't used the seat mounts for the belts). But I would not want be sitting on 50kg of unrestrained mass in an accident. Defender seats mounts separately from the seat belts. If you don't know anything about the subject, then why comment? If you own one, go outside and take 5 seconds to look at how they are built... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tal Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Having just had to look up what a rivnut is and the reason for using them.... plus knowing I can tear 1.5mm aluminium with my hands it sounds very dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie64 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 All Mounting Points should be into the Triple Layer Sections of the Body as per OEM, Rivnuts are also used OEM, Seat Belt mount is as Per OEM. Note: I have mounted my seats how I feel comfortable mounting them, you should mount yours how you feel comfortable, In Non of my Posts of this forum do I ever Recommend Copying anything I do even if I am following the OEM manual for simple jobs, Please Work on your Landrover using your own Brain and Experience and only look at my posts in a way that awakens your imagination, If you are that concerned then I can remove the post and not bother trying to help people in the future Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I was surprised when I bought a TD5 (I think) seat-box to see rivnuts for the seats - but the way it (appears) to work is that the rivnuts just hold the seat down, in a crash the seat is doing nothing (as it's underneath/behind you) it's the seat BELT that holds you, and those are on separate, sturdier mountings. If the seat did break free in a crash it's just an extra bit of load for the seatbelt to hold back, and I'm fairly sure seatbelts have a serious safety-factor built in. Also, the genuine LR seat rivnuts are serious industrial fasteners which are properly machine-set into the double-skin part of the seat-box, you'd struggle to get anywhere near the same result at home with a hand rivnut tool (even if you found the same quality of rivnut) - so it's probably a better option (in terms of being fool-proof) to use nuts & bolts & spreader washers. If your seat-box already has factory rivnuts I'd have absolutely no problem using them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
