Good evening Everybody,
I have been having a hard time lately with picking a specific job on the FC to start and see through to the completed stage...
I have now decided that I must get the seatbelts fitted. I want retractable lap sash all round (including centre rear). I havent had much luck trolling through the previous posts to find any pictures or instructions.
Can anybody help me with good a advice on which belts to use and how to legally mount them? ( i have found the RTA regs and they make a little sense).
EG. parcel tray mount or under parcel tray???
Kinda looking for the neatest/Factory looking install i can muster up  Smiley

Any information at this stage would be awsome. Thanks.
Shannon.

Shannon, I got my belts from repco, Klipan f&r but I,m only using lap belts for the centres. Have a look on my fc rebuild, I have put a few shots of the plates I made. They are 100x75x3mm which is more than is required. For the b pillars I have made a plate that goes up the pillar 100mm and the covers the jack plate on the floor for added stength and used 200x75x3mm plates welded inside the top of the b pillar so you dpn't have the bolt on the outside.
Send me a pm or call me on 0419635935 if you need any more info.
Regards Jim

I have used Klippan Seatbelts and have spoken direct to the guys in Brissie.

Go onto their website and there is a specs sheet with all the different type of belts and stalks.

There are retractables that mount underneath the parcel shelf as well if you decide to go that way.
I considered it but was not sure how to send the belt through the shelf and over to top of the rear seat swab.

regards

Do they need to be retractable (or inertia) belts?

I believe you are chasing Inertia Seatbelts.

I bought my airplane buckle style inertia lap sash belts for the front and laps for the rear from Retro Belt in the US. I am still unsure whether belts need to be ADR approved to be installed in my car, as I have received conflicting information from the Dept. of Transport here in Tas, as the FC is pre-ADR requirements, meaning that the requirements are less restrictive. Is anyone able to comment further on this matter?

Cheers,

I got my retractable seatbelts from Hemco in Ballarat Vic, they are ADR compliant. Had to mount the rear belts on the parcel shelf as my engineer would not pass the "c" pillar mounting as the belts did not sit tight enough over the shoulder of the rear seat occupant. There are some photos in http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,12539.new.html. Cheers, Jack
