Fitting rear seat belts in an amazon estate?

[pez]

Thinking ahead here,as my daughter is only three years old,but im thinking of fitting rear seat belts in my estate
Has anyone ever done this?
Cant find anything on the brookhouse website & when looking inside the car today i can only see a threaded hole on the C pillar,is that for fitting belts??
Cant see anything underneath the rear seat though for fitting a stalk for the belts to fix to.
Anyone have an advice to this please?

Cheers

I searched & found that thread,but thanks for replying though.
Im still unclear where the lower belt actually mounts to though on an estate!

Hi Pez,you should be able to find some threaded holes under the rear of the seat squab,and at the base of the b pillars.They are bunged with plastic bungs under the seat squab,and you should be able to feel them through the vinyl next to the seat base.
I don't think I welded them up!
Cheers Dave

PEZ;

You can't miss what's not there! ...from memory...yes the C-Pillars had the captive nuts to accept them, but as far as I know, Amazons never had rear seat belts from the factory...earlier Amazon chassis certainly don't have the pick-up points on the floor...maybe the factory added them on the last Amazons produced, to have the option, and that is the case on David's chassis...

I too added rear seat-belts (only, not three-point, and to a sedan) to secure junior's car-seat (which had a chest-pad)...I used the beltset sourced from a 140, which included the end-brackets. I added holes in the floor using the positions in the 140 as a guide.

Hi ya ,

The fixings are there and were fitted standard as they had planned on use at the time but was an extra look and you will find them !

You can buy modern seatbelt kits from various outlets

amazons salon and wagons down pillar is a fixing point down each back corner is fixing point and the retainer fixing point you buckle into is in the middle of rear seat base captive with MASSIVE plate look under car you will see massive plates with a captive nut use that so unlesss badly repaired in past all is there .
Very early models in the front never had a anchor point on inner sill you just put that anchor behind the other one so doubled to get over that problem .

But look and you will find simple as that

That's an interesting buckle combination you've got there, Robert. I can see it would work well if the guy on the left sits on the lap of the guy in the middle
