Inertia Reel Seat Belts - 101

**101 Ron** · 9th November 2011, 06:28 PM

It all works OK.
The pics dont show the belt in its normal position across the body.
The reel position is not that important, but the location of the of the change of direction loop is and the postion of it on my 101 is perfect as it is just above shoulder high.
The other important bit is the catch for the belt being on stiff wire cable to keep it in position in the narrow space between the engine cover and the seat.
I think it picks up on the original seat belt holes.
The little hook to hold the seat belt when not in use is a god send.
The seats I have in my 101 are not from a landrover, but are after market items which I suspect to be for a defender.
The seats work well too, but the seating position is slightly forward of the standard seats.
the seats will fold forward on the back rests and allow to keep maps and small objects behind the seat with easy access.

I was getting a air bag for my 101 ...........but luckly my missus legs are to short for her to climb in easily

Not the sexiest of photos but I hope you get the idea.

Top mounting on mine uses the horizontal brace of the roll bar. (Note: the other seatbelt you can see in the first photo is for the little jump seat where the spare wheel normally goes)

For me (I'm about 5'11") it is mounted too high and rubs on my neck.

My seats are old, well worn, recaros (with cheapo covers to cover all the holes

) Not sure on the position compared to standard, but I find them very comfy.

Hey sleepy
Whats the chances of getting some pics of the jump seat and seat belt arrangement.
What sort of seat is being used for the jump seat.
It is something I havent though about.
When I get my big rubber fitted, dont know if the spare will fit in the normal place.
A jump seat in that space is a fantastic idea.

No worries Ron, give me a day or so for the pics. It is only a little fixed seat with about an inch of foam, not that comfy but does the job.

I reckon the dicky seats out of a Disco 1 would be ideal as they fold up as well. I'll take some photos of my Disco 1 seats for comparison also.

I'll post it all up in my thread so as not to drift this thread of Garry's.

I have no problem if the thread drifts - is all good stuff.

Ron - maybe a use for that nice spare seat you have.

Thanks for all the pics - a couple of plates welded to the roll bar will work well.

Cheers

That's a nice seat Ron. What's it out of?

Anyway here is my Dickie seat.

The seat is fixed, although the back rest pivots (flips?) at the top , to create a high back. (pic 2 & 3)
Inertia reel mounted to the mounting bracket and top set belt mount to roll bar. The seat belt catch is mounted in same hole as driver.
I little crude but ok for short hops. Not sure I'd like to go offroading and have someone there.

Scratch my idea about D1 rear seats. They have mountings on the top and bottom. (Was thinking of turning the missus Disco back into a 5 seater

)

Sorry for taking so long with pics but I forgot about it till I saw sleepy's pics

You may notice the drivers side has had a modification to the seat position, that is why the spare wheel is on the back
