Seat belt removal

[jimmyV8]

I need to replace the passenger seat belt in my 98 Chimaera. Just wondered if the shoulder 'runner' and the floor mounted 'runner' are just bolted onto the body or are they bolted straight through onto the chassis like the bolt on the reel itself? I cant seem to find a nut on the underside of the car to get at that would be attached to the floor mounted point? Thanks in advance.

The top fixing goes through to the rear wheel arch[into captive nut or threaded boss].The bottom fixing is a bolt which goes through the reel then the chassis[nut can be seen in front of wheel by outrigger.Fixings are UNF thread.Regards,Dave.

And the bottom fixing, down the side of the seat without the reel. Is that fixed via a threadded boss as well?

Not sure about that one.Did'nt remove that one when repainted chassis.Ken at KRJ trimmers[ad in sprint]who fitted my new carpets would know. Dave.

Yes it is mate i found it easier to take the seat out when i replaced mine, saved some scraped knuckles ( and a good chance to give the carpet a clean )its just 4 bolts under the car and makes life alot easier.
