Inertia seat belts

[rubyfloriley]

Advice please,

My series 2 roadster had inertia reel seat belts that were mounted on the rear bulkhead which has been replaced i read a thread where the belts had been mounted inside the boot which seems a very good idea are there any downsides to doing this,and are there hole/slot liners to stop the belt chaffing on the slot edges or does one have to make them.

Many thanks for any comments.

Regards Brian

Brian -
I have no experience of using the belts inside the boot but I believe these people make the fitting you need to tidy up the slot. https://www.quickfitsbs.com/index.php

Can you recommend a supplier of inertia seat belts for a series 2 roadster. Quick fit safety belt advertise a belt for each model but without seeing it its difficult to visualise.
Any thoughts.

Hi Brian...i used http://www.fdts-seatbelts.co.uk there website isnt very good but if you phone them and ask for Sue....she will send samples of webbing and photos of fittings.....my inertia belts i had made there are very good .. unfortunatly cant photo mine as iv fitted them in the inner wing..

I'd recommend speaking to Sue at FDTS, very helpful and made up a very good set of inertias for my FHC. Being skinny I needed a better option than the stalk to clip the belt into which would hold the belt too far forward for me. She made a set with webbing instead, much neater and safer.

Being skinny

'Svelte', surely...
