Gday! I need to replace the front seat belts in my mini. I have heard that there are some legal issues with this regarding to the type of seat belt that you replace it with? Has anyone else come across this? Cheers! |

There was a thread here years ago discussing fitment of inertia reel belts in the front of roundnose Minis. Early cars had weaker mounting points in the B pillar. They were strengthened in the mid-late 60s. Use of inertia reel belts can `almost' double the load on this top mount in an accident compared to a static belt. Having said this, I've had 2 in mine (1970) now for years, no problem. |
