Rear seat belt in the trekker….
well its been far to long since I updated the blog
winter is nearly here so will get on with a load of new jobs now the car will be off the road till next year now….
The last job I did was to fit a rear 3 point belt in the back of the trekker so I can take my daughter out with me, heres a load of photos to show how I did it
I bought some seat belt plates off ebay that have the seat belt nut welded to a spreader plate, I fixed one under the wing and bolted through to mount the reel.
The next bit was fun!!!
I took the rear roof off as I was using a cutting tool to cut a flap in the box section so I could fold the metal down, slide a spreader plate in and then fold the flap back, I didnt bother welding back up as I thought you never see it and if I needed to paint it wasnt worth the hassel. Then bolted the top of the belt through onto that plate and it was pretty much sorted. I then fitted the clasp to the normal lapbelt hole and we were done, fairly easy job and very strong. Not been for a mot yet but dont think it will be an issue.
