Thread: Series 2 or 3 with Softtop owners pls...

I've only got lap sash belts in my soft top series 3.

I have seen some attached to the top of the bulkhead though.

That would be lap belts, otherwise known as "2 point" belts.

My S2B trayback, deluxe cab trim, has the 3rd (shoulder) point on the gal capping behind the seat.

On the same issue, where is the 3rd point usually fixed on a ute cab?

My S2B trayback, deluxe cab trim, has the 3rd (shoulder) point on the gal capping behind the seat.

I've gone from a soft-top to a ute cab. On the soft-top, I had static 3-point belts with the shoulder part fitted as mentioned above. The galvy capping has a welded-in nut for seatbelts.

With the cab-roof, there are brackets you can get to fit the shoulder strap up next to your head. I've seen hard-top type brackets used but there are specific brackets you're supposed to use for the cab.

I'll be mounting my seatbelts to the bulkhead behind the seat. But could be going with just the lap belts yet

Thanks Davo

So now I need to find a set of ute cab seat belt brackets - maybe even a the whole cab which hasn't had an elephant sit on it?

I would be avoiding 2 point belts at all costs, there are some very significant dangers with their use in a crash.

Could you post a photo please? My SIII came with 2-point belts in pretty bad condition and it would probably be a good thing to replace them with something safer.

Hi Diana . No doubt that the sash belt is a lot better than the lap belt . But isn't any seat belt better than none at all . I don't have to get them in my 2a but i'm putting them in anyways .
