I presume being 3 point. 2 points of the belt come throught he rear of the chair to hold you in. and the rear point will attatch to where your rear seat belts fix in.
If not then you must buy some eye hooks and back plates and drill new holes ect ect.

right then got them in (nearly) i just need to undo the old seat belt bit near the hand brake.
but i carnt get to it unless i take the seats out. so i un done the 2 screws at the front of the seats tried slidding them back to get them out but the side near the hand brake wont come of/out.

why is that is there another screw somewhere or what?

i think there is a clip at the back of the runners that stops it sliding all the way off just pop that off an it should come out

If you mean how to remove the bar?

Ah this can be tricky,lol

You just need to tun it and push it the oposit way to what it nomaly faces,just fiddle till it gets in the right place..

with regards the bar i but the harness piece behind the bar and bolted it back on thus keeping it there for future ues should the harness ever get removed

cheers for that scott. yer it was a bit tricky cause you pull it and twist it then twist it the other way, well something like that.

EPO i wish you'd said something before!! i got em out now, but the passenger one might have to go back in cause my mum aint to keen on the idea of wearing a harness (just started taking lessons)

cheers, lew
