I know this topic's been covered before but does anyone know what will or will not fit the rear i'm wanting to get some rear belts fitted for the kids and want to raid the local scrappie but not sure what will fit don't mind fastening them to the rear shelf but it's more the other fittings thread type etc as I presume the car already has captive mountings for belts would something like metro/maestro etc do the job
thanks

Id imagine something from the Austin Rover range would probably be made to fit with not much problems !!! 8)

well just to let you know (well anyone who is bothered anyway) I fitted some rear belts from a 1995 rover metro all the mounting points are there in the marina the only thing I modified was I cut off the rings that fasten to the c post in the metro there are mountings on the c post in the marina but they are too low down and foul the seat also it means modifying the c post trim I put the reels on the parcel shelf there are even holes in the parcel shelf that are in the right place even the lap belt in the centre fits ok looks a tidy job will post some pictures as soon as the camera is charged up

cheers for now
