Whilst we're on the subject of minor upgrades, has anyone replaced the seatbelts in their Mkx or 420g? I have the standard static diagonals in the front and nothing at all in the rear - although I have anchor points in the wheel arches I have nothing inboard in the back. I wouldn't mind inertia reels in the front (nothing to do with getting the old belts round my girth you understand) and I gather from those with children that some form of protection in the rear would be welcomed - has anybody had a go? As with the headlights it seems to be an area that varies hugely in price, with no supplier being able to tell me whether or not their solution is a straight swap or not, so once again I throw myself on the mercy of my betters within the forum...

Thanks SV8Predator! Got a quote from for the front belts but they weren't sure what was right for the back - anyone tried it before?

Hi,

I fitted 3 point inertia reel belt to the front by recessing the B/C post, supplied to my requirements from 'quickfit'.

For the rear I welded in strengthening plates and fitted 3 point reel belts to the top of the wheel arches in the boot then cut slots in the rear parcel shelf with wood surrounds for neatness, and a lap belt in the centre.

This is in a MkII so you have more room I would have thought?
