Seatbelts different types?

Post by fjj1 » Tue Sep 01, 2015 11:27 am

Hi,

I've just received a swivelling bench seat from Northstar conversions, it's great, I really like the ability to turn bench around but move it back for when I need passengers in the back. However, my seatbelts don't seem to fit in the 'sockets'! Are there different types? It is a rear bench that is now in the middle, but I can't see that being the issue.

I guess I can transfer them from my old bench seat, but I was wondering if this is normal?

Thanks.

There are 3 different incompatible types as seen below. The sockets for the centre lap belts are meant to be different so that is intentional. Your best bet is to swap yours over.

Thanks Simon, appreciate that.

I swapped just the two sockets for the main 3-point seatbelts over and they are working fine now.

Thanks again!
