Fixed bucket install

[New2RS]

Afternoon all,
Fitting buckets soon with cage/harness’s etc but I want to retain standard belt for driving to work. Looking at these:

Look suitable?
Also should I bolt it through the subframe/ floor here:

Any help appreciated. Cheers

Be fine but id bolt it on the side of the side mounts

 

[New2RS]

Cheers mate, that makes it even easier. Is there another buckle you could recommend or should I stick with that one?
Cheers

I think LUKE do one, can't for the life of me find it though.
Sure a few on here have used a Peugeot 106 (iirc) rear buckle

Also available from Universal Seatbelts. Just buy a cable mounted buckle. Then they will fit properly and won’t flap about.

I'd go with a cable one personally

 

[New2RS]

Thanks for the input chaps.
The Peugeot buckles were my next port of call after trawling through threads but the cable buckle seems a much smarter option. I think I’ll go for those. Cheers

I had 205 Buckles in mine years back. They work really well.

Any reason why you can't just mount the originals on the seat subframe?

 

[New2RS]

I’m not sure to be honest. After trawling threads I don’t think anyone has done that? Would be ideal really to retain the pre tensioners etc to avoid dashboard lights. On the down side though my standard seats would then be worthless?
Cheers

yeah - was just thinking out loud really.. i'm going down the same route and have finally got round to fitting my buckets but want to retain the passenger seatbelt : makes sense i think to fit the original clip if possible but was wondering if this then caused issues for anyone!

 

[New2RS]

I imagine some of the blokes on here could do it but there’s a good reason why nobody has done.
I’ve ordered a couple of wire rope buckles which I’m going to bolt to the side mounts hopefully.

Do you recall what length wire buckle you went with?

 

[Rolls]

If you’re after some, I have a set that I’m going to put up for sale that I have never used.. brand new - can get pictures tomorrow

25cm

These are what bought. Can sell them for 15 quid delivered if you’re interested - as I say they are brand new

This looks really neat. Can I ask where you go these?

Thanks,

Think other kind of said it but make sure the buckle doesn’t side too high and causes a gap from the belt to your body. I’m sure that would be ‘fun’ if in an accident
