Swb centre seat belt fitting?

[rakerman]

Can anyone tell me where the centre 3 point rear seat belt bolts to? Got me as confused as a baby racoon I bought a set of rear seats and belts to fit to my commercial a while ago and just got round to investigating fitting them today. Looks like I'm maybe missing 2 loops that the bases catch onto aswell? Think the rest looks straight forward enough. Just need to get my leaking side panel fixed first

I don't get why mine even has one fitted as I've only got 2 seats in the back anyway :S ???

I know what you mean and I probably will never have three people in the back but if it keeps the MOT tester and PC Plod happy then I might aswell fit it when I've got it.

Can't seem to find a photo of one with the seats folded up.

I'm not a 100% sure but I'll go have a look in my scrap swb tomorrow. :thumb2

Cheers Ryan, If it still has the 2 catches for the seat bases bolted to the floor could I have them? I looked at your pics of the SWB with the headlining out but couldn't see where the centre belt fixes.

So it's either attached to the seat back or the floor. On my lwb, it's attached to the floor I think

Thanks Rick, that must be a lap belt though. The one I have is 3 point belt. They must have changed them 2002-. I was thinking it should be on the seat back too but theres no signs of anywhere to bolt it. Surely it doesn't fix to the roof somewhere :nenau

it should bolt in with the other 2 seatbelts where u plug them in so to speak then at top of seat there should be a fixing point to put a guider in for the seatbelt to thread too, hope that makes sense

hmmm. found ebay item no. 221031180455 when looking for pics. Looks like its bolted above the back door

I have never sen a rear middle belt like that one before! I beleive that if you put rear seats in a commercial by law you don't need any seatbelts in the back at all! And if they are not there they are not part of the MOT. I fitted rear seats in my 2003 swb commercial and didn't fit the middle belt, it passed 2 MOT's after that with not even a question or a comment :thumb2

My 2005 has the 3 point middle belt, my car is a LWB model and the roof attachment is just behind the N/S rear passengers head, when not in use you can release it so that the belt part retracts into a pod on the roof.
Hope this helps

Can u take pics of where the pod is mounted would like the middle rear belt 3 point instead of the crappy lap belt:thumbs

Think i'm sorted. Theres supposed to be a mounting bracket and trim part that covers the belt reel. It bolts on above the back door. I phoned the breakers and they had a look for me and are posting the missing parts.

Your right PLANK seat belts aren't required although kids need a proper restraint. Did you have to change your seat no. with the DVLA?
