Title: Hidden 3 point rear seat belt mount!
Post by: ADRay on October 30, 2015, 05:36:51 AM
Pretty excited to confirm that there are unused factory mounting point for a 3 point seat belt, hiding behind the headliner!

My kids are getting bigger and its been on my back burner things-to-do list.

I guess they all came with them, but in my Mini's case, they only installed lap belts in Germany in 1982.

Could you post a pic? Any idea when they started doing this?

My '69 Jag only came from the factory with lap belts, but I found the upper mount for a 3 point when I took it apart, and put a set of NOS 3 points in it.

Wonder if they have them hidden in the Estate's also?

A lot of guys put the cards over those holes and never bothered to put the belts in.
