Hi all I want to put retractable seatbelts in the deluxe and am wandering which ones people have fitted The top and bottom mounting points aren't quite in line but I think I could get away universal 90 x 90 degrees mounting Also stalk length of 250 or 300 mm seems about right. Let me know which ones you used and any other fitting tips Thanks in advance |

I'm no help to you guna but am interested in the responces as well. I also have a deluxe and had thought about doing something like the clubman ones with the retractor mech in the rear side pockets. Not real easy to put a mounting in the pocket though. But if it were easy then everyone would do it. |

The pocket mount used on Clubbies is a captive nut welded to the inner sill. Do NOT attach mounts to the pockets, you will tear them off the floor as you exit thru the windscreen. I have Klippan 1214? or 1412? retractables in my `Matic, I put both the reel and the belt end onto the normal lower mounting. I needed to shorten the reel plate and re-drill the hole, so it misses the door pocket. Stalks are 12". Will find pics-

I didnt explain well enough. I wasnt mounting to the pocket. But to the sill inside the pocket. Pocket just hides the retractor. Oops |

Ah OK. Reason I mentioned it was when we bought Barney, the PO had mounted the retractable reel by just drilling a hole in each pocket and putting a nut inside...! |

Jut make up L bracket and hide it inside as well. The klippan ones fit well, also make detractors for parcel shelf mounting |

No one plans on having an accident but safety should always be a priority. Can enjoy your lovely mini if your a dead! I have welded in clubby seat belt mounts in for the rear and just sorting the front ones out now. See how I go on the weekend and will post some pics. |
