Post subject:  Retro fitting retractable Seat Belts
I didn't want to go off topic on Chester's post re: race harnesses but what I would like to know if anyone has put retractable seatbelts in a car that came out with non retractable belts.

Is it a case of mount the main points to the standard locations and cut out a hole for the retractor part?

The reason being, my Sierra ute was fitted with non retractable and with the GTi seats and my ever growing work of art, It just won't fit.

Thanks

Stock wt swb items bolted straight in my lwb but mine is a full body.

Check to see if there is a cover plate down near the floor on the b pillar (same place as your swb)

I'm in the same boat, the ute has no spot for them

Klippan brand Part No.

Passenger side has something from another vehicle but I need to change it, The above Klippan doesn't fit either.

If you want better photos I'll get my proper camera out.

Those photo's are fine.

That's a good solution, I was thinking of cutting out a square section for the adjuster to sit inside the body. Just so it looks a bit more standard.

Might be worth talking to an engineer, No idea if it would be strong enough.

Can you make stock sierra retractable seatbelt assembly fit into the proposed cutout?

It's just so the retractor has somewhere to live, there's no force applied onto it as the mounting points would be the standard bolt holes.

In the LWB (not tray back) it does have a cover that can be removed for it to sit into. The mounting plate for it is a tight fit and may need some trimming.

Yea sorry, Not sure what I was thinking of.

Just had a look at a WT here, It has a 'cover plate' that looks like the retractor bolts to it. Is that what you plan to use?

Yeah, just that the trayback doesn't have that cover. Just the anchor points for the belts.
