If someone has put them in in the past (reasonably common)...then the inspectors would just think there is provision for them and so they should be there.
Whether they were installed by a do-it-your-selfer or a garage don't matter....you have to either convince the guys that they are not standard or get them fitted and inspected by an authorised fitting station and be done with it.
In a small town there ain't gunna be too many options
If you do your homework and approach them again you might get away with it
good luck.
Why not just remove them? No rego inspector checks under your rear seat for evidence of seat belt mounts.
Remove what?? Smokey is saying they were never fitted.
I was saying, IF someone had fitted belts in the rear of a K..then this is what might happen or what you might do.
I strongly recommend to Smokey that he "does his homework" and goes back to them to argue the toss....the inspectors have a book that they go by, if it is written in the book the Ks had rear seat belts (more likely that Minis had them from a certain date).....well, you have to convince them they are wrong (in the nicest possible way, or elevate it up their chain of command).
