Just purchased a 3 and 4 point harness of a mate for a bargainious price....but i'm puzzled at where to teather them to at the side of the car. I'll be using them with STD Saxo seats for a few days so keeping the STD seatbelts in for now. So could all with 3 and 4 pointers post pics of where you have tether them to?Have stripped the back ready and have all the bolts from the back seatbelts
cheers all

All seats must have working seatbelts in order to pass an MOT..

take the plastic cover off the seat belt bukle bit, and you tke the seat belt pre tensioner off with a 17or 18mm spanner irc, then clip them into that hole :y:

not only that, but if you have seats there with no seat belts its also MOT fail. As it gives the passenger the ability to sit down but not wear a seatbelt.
However, you can do it the other way round (seatbelts but no seats)

Yeah the T45's.
Its what i used and had no problems at all.
Suppose if you wanted to be extra safe you could get longer bolts to make up the couple mm.

yup!
You may want to take the old seat belts out as well along with the old buckle. If they MOT the car, they will see the standard seat belts there, so when your driving you have the option of using them, so either make sure the function as they should do, or take them out and just use your harnesses :y:
As for the rear if your stripped out:
No seats WITH seat belts is OK
Seats without seat belts is fail
none at all is OK
:y:
