3 point belts in the rear of a RR/Disco/110?

[Bill]

Anyone know when (or if) the Classic ever got a middle 3 point belt? I've peered through a few windows and have only seen what look like lapbelts.

Failing that anyone know when the Defender got them?

[vxrandy]

I doubt the classic ever got them, as my p38 has a lap belt.

[Ecurie Ecosse]

I would sat probably never too.

My 1994 soft dash has a lap strap.

[Bill]

That's what I'd feared. And presumably the Disco is the same.

[CraigVmax]

I have a late LSE softdash and it only has a lapbelt

[Bill]

Hmmm, rethink required and a subtle title change too

Cheers guys. Its not the end of the world because I can always stick SWMBO in the middle and we have her people carrier for longer journeys but it'd be nice to get all of us in in safety without the expense of an L322/D3.

Have you seen that device which turns 2 belts into 3 in the back or 3 into 4, Ive been searching for it, someone reccomended it to me once. Like a seatboard that goes along entire rear seat. i'll keep looking

[CraigVmax]

found it!

would this solve problem for you?

[Bill]

Multimac? I had them come over when I was trying to avoid a people carrier. They're not bad in forward facing guise, but I discounted it because the rear facing seats were too big and unwieldy and quite steep. It would also mean giving my SWMBO the Dreadnought and having her Focus as a daily

And they're £1200ish so a bit OTT for my planned £2k snotter.

ETA Cheers I had a patient to see mid-reply.

[CraigVmax]

ouch, i take your point

[Bill]

Having said that I'd like a full length Webasto roof (at £750 plus fitting) so the project could well spiral out of control anyway

What about the rear seats in the 7 seat Disco - do they have 3 point belts?

[Bill]

Looking at pictures the D2 does, not sure about the D1. I'm starting to wonder if a D2 rear seat would fit in a Classic.

[Bill]

Just found out that Exmoor Trim do a centre 3 point belt for the Defender that they reckon will fit a RR.

Hmmm thats interesting,do you have a link to it at all.

[Bill]

Here I've had an email chat and there's no top mount so the belt just runs over the top of the seat, which I have to say I'm a little unsure about...

[vxrandy]

Thats a shame, it looks like half a job done badly

[Bill]

Yep. I suspect in a crash you'd fold up like you were wearing a lapbelt but with a seat strapped to your back.

[vxrandy]

I never noticed the lap belt when we bought it, only got 2 kids so wasn't looking for the 3rd belt, but renault managed to put them in the lagunas fron 1993 yet a supposed luxo barge maker can't be arsed. A third belt would need to be roof mounted from the side of the boot and then run through a clip on the top of the seat i think.

These guys http://www.quickfitsbs.com/ fitted a lap and diagonal centre rear belt to my P38 about 15 years ago, highly recommended and not expensive as far as I can recall. Definitely worth giving them a try.
