Indeed. And for other things such as drinking wine and playing Scrabble when it's pouring down.....

Re: O/T Seatbelt Advice

As you described, they have just taken them from a minibus and bolted them in your van ( might even be the same mounts on the chassis ) the units are all self contained so that can't really do anything wrong and I doubt that both are faulty, are you pulling the seatbelt sharp enough so it jolts ? ? ?

nice comfy seats though

I will try again- I only did it quickly
Thanks for the advice

Re: O/T Seatbelt Advice

If the belt isn't locking, then the chances are the drum is in the wrong position. Most of them have to be mounted vertically, with little room for error either way - or they don't lock. You can buy ones that work at an angle, but they're usually a special purchase. But if they are integral to the eat itself, then there shouldn't be an issue.

Re: O/T Seatbelt Advice

I've recently purchased a Ford Transit custom, and has a company install a set of two seats from a mini-bus ( also ford ) behind the front seats - the seats are supposed to be new as they have been removed from a mini-bus as part of a disabled conversion.

The seats look fine ( and new ), but when I sit in them and do the belt up - if I pull hard on the strap than runs from the shoulder to the hip the belt just flows - in the front seat if I do that the belt it sort of locks - but these don't - don't know whether the locking thing is only for front seats because there is more damage to do there, and for rear seats it just sort of keeps you in place.

Any advice gratefully accepted.

You are Sorted..
