Hi all, I am currently working on getting an ex-Military 1978 Series 3 soft top back on the road.

When I purchased the vehicle, the front seats only had lap sash seatbelts on the outer seating positions.

I was wondering if this is the standard set up, or whether these were originally equipped with retractable or static lap and diagonal belts. If so, can anyone who might have a similar vehicle send me some pictures of the original “upper” mounting position for these?

Thanks in advance-

got retracts on my Series3 Lightweight, I machined some T6 clamps that go around the roof bar for the shoulder point , retract is mounted on the original shoulder anchor on the body cap rail .

Thanks goingbush. Do you know if the retractables were originally fitted though? I’m trying to make sure my seatbelts are as they were when they left the factory...
