inertia belt instilation in a bug
this is the setup that ive had in all my dubs. it consists of a universal inertia belt kit and some plate. note this setup requires an engineers. the
reel is bolted to a 90 degree bracket and mounted on the floor.
its bolted with high tensile bolts and has a steel plate under the car.
you still use the top point. if any one doubt this setup look at the photos in this thread.

id like to hear what you all think and remember this is only a guide.

although it is hard to see in this pic, I have mine mounted so they are turned 90 degrees to yours. They use the L-bug mounting bracket, so is bolt in
using factory parts and requires no approval. I think it is a neater install.

I think they are from a late honda prelude. They are very comfy, lumbar? and side width adjustment. $150 from mark gibbs panel house on brisbanes
south side. Required a bit of welding to the original seat bases, which was all approved.

****Now those are what I call NICE seats*****
those seats look like they are VERY comfy Wes......
I wouldn't mind a pair of those......
Were Your seats belts the universal type too Wes??
or from another car....
I have seen some of the enertia reel belts and they make it nearly impossible to get into the rear seat area....
Yours look good.....

not sure how much cause i got the engine and a few other things done at the same time but it ended up being about $600. the legalities are if you are
injured in a crash your insurance company could refuse to pay on the fact that you have an illegal fitting in your car

I put inertia reels in from Repco. They screwed straight in to the factory seatbelt mounts so they don't need a certificate. I did however buy a 90
degree bracket from CIP1 to turn them out of the way a bit. Works well.

yogie, can u put details up, so i know what im asking for when i go into the shops...otherwise i get strange looks when i say...i want sum fingies to

Ur set up looks good, and I'd rather be putting in something that doesnt require drilling/welding/ fixing or altering of the body of the car. If
u've seen me weld/drill/fix...u'd know why
dubless. 
 And who the helled parked the Mitsubishi "Prancer" under my
house??? |
