Seat belt shoulder bracket

View attachment 141566 Hi all, just a quickie - I have four new boxed seat belts as pictured. I went to fit them in my one-ten but discovered there's a Mount missing. Where the tape measure is, on my old belts is a triangle bracket the belt moves through, which bolts up and behind the shoulder, but new belts don't have it.
Obviously this needs to be done correctly for safety of me and my passengers but is there something obvious I'm just not getting? Or do I need to ditch these and buy more?View attachment 141566
It's worth noting that the belt can only be pulled out from above (bolt of inertia reel at the bottom) so I can't see a way these could possibly work.

Thanks in advance.

I did go outside in the lounge pants and T shirt, bloody freezing, even for us Northerners. Lounge pants are just silk though
Right, my seat belt real has a bracket sticking out the side, which ties the other end of the belt. This is a pre rebuild picture so excuse the aluminium oxide.

Then, above the shoulder, is the triangular mount that the belt slides through.

Mine was the same as @Al2O3 's piccies, before I got rid of the roof.

Where did you get the belts from? are they folding rear seat belts or summin?

This did occur to me but there's no room for the inertia reel at the side of the seat box

As the driver you could use a piece of baling twine...your choice. But for the thought of your passengers fit the correct kit, it is not that expensive.

Thanks Al - you're a star, better have a drink on me to warm up
My uncle gave me them, he bought them for something a few years ago but can't remember what although it would have been a landrover of some sort. He thinks it was his ninety but he's had so many landies he's not sure. Either way they were never used and he gave them to me last year. Thing is, they're totally useless without that triangle mount and the way they are made means it can't be added / removed.

No bother, marra. They must be off a vehicle where they inertia reel is mounted above the shoulder? Better to be safe than sorry though.
