Hi, yea please share the pics. I’d like to see how and where they are mounted.
I’m banned from driving the LR until I’ve fitted some safety
Cheers

Not quite the same as mine is a soft top hence the raised bar for the shoulder mount but this shows how I positioned them on the bulkhead. I had static belts fitted to my series 3 so used the same mounting point on the bulkhead they used with some 6mm angle to give a flat surface. Please ignored the dog it is best pic I had to hand, You can see the passenger belt between the strap and the side. I can try and get a better pic next time I am with the vehicle. As you have a hardtop you should be able to use part number 395586 and 395587 for the upper brackets.
I one of mine came from a Skoda Felicia I stripped to take banger racing and the other is a universal seatbelt bought online. As mentioned above you need to be carful with the mounting angle. If taking one from a vehicle it needs to be mounted with the same angle or if buying universal you need to make sure it is one you can set the angle on rather than having to be perfectly straight. (you can see mine are mounted at an angle)

The bottom mounts to the sill for the belt, the top will need the hard top brackets I posted numbers for earlier also on the Craddocks link. The buckle I believe you need an additional bracket that bolts to the underside of the seat box and onto the chassis. May be in the craddocks link but also here from yrm in nice stainless (link)
The only challenge is finding somewhere solid enough for the inertia reel itself To mount but lots of people mount it to the bulkhead top rail and as I said it is where Land Rover mounted the static belts I had originally and used the same mounting for the inertia reel.

You could try giving them a ring, (no idea what/who you will get to speak too)
you basically need the triangular bracket for the top, an L shaped bracket for the bottom, backing plate maybe, then the buckle with a plate. They should all bolt in and as long as the reinforcement plates are fitted behind should be good.

And fitted properly...it would be classed as a modification by insurance would it not...
It's not a modification that impacts the handling or performance though, or even the theft appeal.
You modify when you put a different brand of tyre on, or put a bumper sticker on etc
