Wold anyone be able to provide me with a picture of the placement of their child restraint anchor/anchor points on the rear parcel shelf. I have the document from vic roads for fitting them but the only place I can fit them due to speaker whole cut-outs and the legal distance of 50mm from punched out or perforated metal from these in the parcel shelf will put them very near the top edge of the rear seat is this ok?

Thank you

I don't think you can have belt or child seat anchor points in a parcel shelf with speaker holes at all. :?

Hi Guys thanks for the replies. According to this document you can just needs to be 50mm from the cut-out

This is how Leyland did it in the 70's.
The red circle marks the child restraint hole. The green circle marks the seat rear seat belt hole (for the opposite side belt)
The speaker hole has not affected the structure under the shelf that the belts mount to.
The earlier cars have a totally different shelf structure (well just a tin shelf and very little structure!)

My parcel shelf already has that hole cut in it 1990 car also has the hole directly opposite it which was the one I was thinking of but if the other is what is used guess that's ok unless someone else has them in another place

Thanks

Ah I see Mine pretty much looks like this one. Link to site that sells the repair panel but mine has all the smaller holes in it like this one don't have a photo of mine right now. Any advice on which hole to maybe use.
