Seat Belts

mistralshining · #1 21-02-2007, 23:22

Just wondered if anyone knows when seat belts in the back became compulsary to have manufacture fitted in the car.

I have a Nissan Silvia 1.8 Turbo its a 1984 (B Reg).

There were none in the car when bought and i cant see anywhere to bolt them on above the shoulder.

Any ideas?!?!

Also if it is meant to have them anyone got any ideas where i can get some from cheaper then main dealer where it seems the only place to get stuff for it from.

Cheers Peeps. x

Hmm...

Shame they are in blue wouldn't really go.

Do you know if it was meant to have the factory fitted.

if they are not fitted then they don't need them, but i'd rather think of saftey first.whats fittin a belt, compared to a life?.

they came in 1987 i think, my 1986 hasnt got any either, always passed test, and the tester always comments it dont need them.

Ok then just wanted to make sure.

Might put some in anyways.

for safety sake i do agree, i have a set that i got from silvia god, but i got to do some welding in the area before i fit them, but atm, i only use the car for travel to work, so no need for them.

I think might find, the mounting holes for them are behind the trims. If you look carefully, you will see where to cut the trims out. I have Mk1 black trims in my Mk2 and had to cut the trims out to put the rear belts in.

I dyed my brown belts black. That is another option but it's a manky process.
