Help urgent - rear lapbelt or whichever for Wolseley 16/60

    I'm soon enough to go on the IVVCC Golden Jubilee Tour (I think that's the thing I paid the money for) next month. I need a belt for the back (I'm not bothered but someone else is). The belt cannot rely on the pillar like modern torsion type belts. While the front is a sort of bench seat, these are still two seats right beside other, so what's in the front probably won't work. I need to look at this tomorrow. Can anyone suggest a rear seat belt solution for a BMC Farina (mine specifically is the Wolseley 16/60 of the thread title)?

    edit: I need to get a static belt of some sort. An inertia belt could tear the pillar.

    edit2: http://wescoperformance.stores.yahoo.net/ll60.html is something along the lines I need. Maybe I could get British Leyland stickers for them too:).

    I would go without the passenger than mess around putting in a belt especially. Lap belts are worse than nothing IMO.

    Anyway, I'd second contacting Quickfit Safety Belt Services as a supplier if you must.

    That US company I linked has lap and three point belts suitable for bench seats for a much lower price. I'd have to see what the postage is for them. There one or two people I'm going to ask before committing to one or the other. The worst case for the US shipping, 7 day wait plus five days might cut it fine.

    Kevin Byrne gave me a number of a local who might be able to sort the belts and carpets.

    There are factory or well done owner installed anchors for lapbelts. That makes it easy. I took off the back seat fully, and there they were.

    Also I need some carpet and upholstery work done. I used someone I know as John seatcover in the past, but I lost his number. If anyone has that, it'd be great.

    Thanks.
