set belt bar

wickford90 · Apr 1, 2014

I have recently bought a used seat belt bar (i don't know the proper name) the one that bolts onto the rear bulkhead and sits a few inches higher than the seats, are there holes in the bulkhead or do i have to drill new ones to bolt it on, or better still has anyone a picture of one fitted.

Just ordered the exmoor version myself. Not fitted yet but you have to drill holes in the body capping on top of the tub, shouldn't need to touch the bulkhead. You may have a different version though!

Wasn't aware anyone did one, mine is an old original that i have had blasted and powder coated limestone. Mine won't be fitted for ages yet would you put a picture up of how the seat belts mount as well when its fitted.

Yeah no worries. The inertia reel bolts to bulkhead and the bar has a mounting for the shoulder mount bit. Will put a pic up when fitted anyway

Hello guys I'm watching this with interest, got my self a ragtop coming friday for my '67 but looking at the seat belt arrangements. Originally i was looking at the exmoor bar but i think it will foul the spare wheel (bolted to the bulkhead) but came across this on ebay LAND ROVER SOFT TOP RAISED UPPER SEAT BELT MOUNTING | eBay the one without the cross bar only trouble is it doesn't show what the seatbelt bolts too or which type it requires so will be good to see some pictures of yours ;

Was looking at that 1 myself. You are correct I think the bar does foul the spare but not an issue for me my spare just slides around the back! The way the seatbelt mounts is identical though, the shoulder mount bolts to the new frame and you need to mount inertia on the bulkhead. I'm planning on just drilling a hole through with some steel plate as reinforcement cos not convinced the bulkhead will be strong enough to mount securely.

Yeah that's a polite version of my first thoughts! An option though if you don't want the bar I suppose

they all seem to look very familiar in design, well to me anyway

.
the picture with it tack welded together doesn't inspire much confidence but i do hope there fully welded. the only other option i can see is a modified military seatbelt/roll bar, but they seem considerably more money.

To be fair they do all look similar but for me the exmoor looks a bit less DIY for an extra £20. Anyway whilst I was looking at options found this thread which shows a good alternative:

Maybe the one I bought is a military one as it sits about the height of the seats, will try sort a picture out

Not finished but shows how it's fitted. You just drill 2 holes each side for the base, the other mount is a bolt and spacer that goes through the groove on the inside of the capping. Obviously need to move the inertia reels lower!

wickford90 · Apr 16, 2014

i guess you had to drill out all the fixing holes.

You just need to drill 4 holes in total. 2 each side for the base plate. The side mount goes through a slot that is already in the capping.

Actually you can see in the top pic one of the slots the side mount goes through just under the bungy cable!
