I might be missing something here, but how do new belts work without it? I'm off to look through my pics. Or, I could be sensible and pop outside for a second!
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.

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

That's my preferred route - this is one area I don't intend to skimp on, just didn't want to buy a load of new seat belts to open the boxes and find the same thing because I'd missed something obvious
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.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.

Possibly, but then the belt doesn't un-roll. Strange...
Totting up nicely, £140 for four seat belts.
