In my Defender 110 CSW – as in everyone else’s, I believe, and no doubt in all Defenders – the front seat belts coil up into a kind of “box” which is mounted with one large nut on the bottom panelling behind the seat and near the rear door.

I want to loosen off this nut in order to release carpet which is retained by it, but am slightly concerned about getting the “box” properly back in position. The thing is that the bolt just disappears somewhere, above my under-body fuel tank, and if it’s retained by a conventional nut and that nut comes off the bolt, I won’t be able to get it back on.

On the other hand, if the bolt screws into a fixed screw-in, as the seat runners do, there’s no problem. Sorry about not using the right terms for these things. Hope my meaning is clear.

Please advise.

Aye, just undo it. If it's like the front ones then there will be two bolts sticking up through that ye put the reel onto and fix with two nuts
