    Thanks John - that looks quite a substantial lump similar to Lionel's. It looks substantially well fixed on to the frame. I could only open pic 2 & 3 but I could get an idea of it from the small pic 1 in the body of the thread.


    cheers,

    Dear all,


    Dunsfold came back to me saying the infamous adu710100 would fit - it wont without modification - but they don't mention this. I sent them a reply accordingly.


    Rovers North don't ship direct to Australia - you have to nominate a shipping agent ............... Zzzzzzz............... plus they didn't answer any of the questions I put to them.


    Craddocks who say they respond within 24 hours took over a week to reply and then only because I chased them and then didn't answer all of the questions I put to them.


    British 4x4 UK haven't responded at all!


    I'm still amazed there is not a one piece bracket currently available .


    So I'm going to make them up myself probably not one piece but it should do the job. Thanks for all the ideas.
    cheers,

    G'day Dark61,

    Have you thought of going down the second-hand road? The Ho Hars have a selection of Series vehicles. It may be worth sending a message to them? - Series Land Rovers

    The big killer will be freight for both the roof to tub main brackets, plus the 2 right angle brackets you are looking at approximately 4 kgs.

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    I hadn't thought of that Lionel thanks for the heads up. Agreed re freight.


    I'm going to have a stab at making them first - I reckon I've sorted out a design. I'll make them up , fit them and then a pull a couple of emergency stops and see what happens!


    I'll let you know what happens.


    Thanks again.


    cheers,

    I've got a pair of galvanised seat belt brackets from a truck cab if you get desperate, they look like a genuine part and the same as what JDNSW has shown.

    thanks jerryd - if I'm not happy with what I come up with I'll give you a shout.


    All - British 4x4 finally came back to me with a quote of GBP200.00 for a modified bracket. There was no s on the end - so I guess that's for 1 - around GBP600.00 all up delivered for the 2? , which is a joke. I'd rather spend that kind of money on a brand new heater for Chumley!
    As usual thanks for all the help.

    I have been searching for a pair of these for three years, they seem to be rarer than holy grails. I have been sending this picture to anyone who may have a truck cab, either here or in the UK, to no avail.









    I have been surprised that no one else seemed to be looking for them, and this thread follows the same path of the conversations and emails I had in my search. My aim is to get hold of one, or a pair, and get some fabricated exactly the same. They are fairly thick steel from memory ( I did have a pair in a LWB I sold years ago) and would need to be welded properly (certified?) as they are seat belt mounts. I now need two pairs as I am putting a second truck cab SWB together, so I am keen to buy some, or borrow them as samples and return them after I get more fabricated.

    Hello All,

    I received a message back from a UK supplier, John Carddock, and the reply was "these parts are no longer made".

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    You will have to generate high g loads to test it, like running into a tree at 60k, that's bound to hurt, apart from rooting the bonnet

    i have been following this thread for a while and think that you would be good to do the fitting like post 41 which refers to the uk forum how to, and I also like the setup in post 50 which gets the reel down away from your head.
    the post in 57 showing the factory bracket appears to be only for a non retractable inertia reel type belt, as the reel is usually mounted below somewhere and the belt pulls upwards from it.
    I have taken some photos of my '71 s2a shorty station wagon with the same belt bracket as the pommy thread mentioned in post 41.
    this is a genuine setup and would have been original equipment as Diana has said the car was delivered new to the nsw police.
    although it is not a ute cab, you can compare these pics to the uk thread.
    there is another bracket not shown that attaches the reel to the wall which is spot welded on .
    I can take more pics if you wish.
