Thank you dag019 I had another look tonight and lower down at about elbow height I've found a possible area to mount the reel. I'll post some pictures up if I get anywhere with it.

It looks like I'll need to find a bracket to fit the reel.

I found this chap on utube fitting retractable belts, but it looks like it just bolted straight in.

Thank you for the quick replies and sorry for the poor lighting in the photo. Fitted currently are the original seat belts which have 2 mounting points, one up high and the other down at the seat box base. With the 3 point inertia belts, the reel needs to be mounted. I pictured this being...

Good evening LZ I'm after advice on fitting front seat belts to a SWB truck cab. I ordered a driver and passenger 3 point inertia belts from Paddocks to replace the tatty old static ones. I was hoping to find a middle mounting area when I removed the aluminium pillar cover, but of course...

Best of luck finding it. My Dad's series 3 was shipped across the Atlantic, so it's very unlikely I'll ever see it.

That looks like a very purposeful and well cared for series Landrover.

It was a lovely sunny day yesterday so we made an early to start to get as much done as possible. The rotten door tops were replaced and the new spare wheel and tyre mounted Replaced the plastic carb spacer which disintegrated on removal and fitted the missing manifold heat shield with the...

I hope you don't mind me asking if anyone knows the heat shield bolt sizes or where to buy them? I have the heat shield, bracket and spacers.

Do you know which carb you have. I had a Zenith copy in my 2.25 petrol and although it was fairly new, it caused the truck to run really badly.

Thanks Anaconda, Bilt Hamber do some great products. I soaked the thermostat housing and block in their crystals and it stripped off years of corrosion. I really like their clear wax stuff too. I'm not looking forward to getting underneath and treating the chassis, but it needs doing.

It took a lot of flushing and any series landrover enthusiast would have been appalled at the colour of what came out. It's a great quality paint from Paintman and a stunning colour. I'd love to paint the block but the priority now is to try and preserve the chassis and bulkhead. I've had good...

We haven't lost interest in recommissioning the old truck just yet. We managed to get some jobs done yesterday, mainly the much needed coolant system refresh. Painted thermostat housing and fan cowling. New expansion tank and cap New thermostat and gasket New heater valve New radiator hoses...

I had an odd encounter with wheel nuts on my new to me Series 3 yesterday. The first wheel came off easily but the brace kept slipping off the nuts on the other wheels. I thought I had earlier series flat nuts on but they were series 3 that had been turned around the wrong way. It also didn't...
