chunky63 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Please can anyone advise me on what the best solution is for fitting inertia reel seat belts into a MK2 GT6. I drive with the seat fully back and don't like the look of the arch mounted reel. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonnett Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 it has always surprised me that arch mounted inertia belts work. I thought they needed to be vertical. The reel unit on my car is immediately below the wheel arch mount and sits in the right angle between the floor and the base of the arch. This necessitates drilling a new mounting through the wheel arch but the belts come with a stiffening backing plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 You can get SECURON seat belts with an adjuster on to align the inertia - it allows you to mount at virtually any angle but still have fully functioning inertial reels.(I used them to put better/extra belts in my old Land Rover, I used this http://www.securon.co.uk/seatbelts_layouts.htm as a reference when choosing my belts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougBGT6 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 My car had factory fitted static belts anchored near the top of the wheel arches. When I got inertia reel they were mounted as John's. However they came with an additional bracket which fitted to the original static mount and angled the belt over my shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
