Mini seat belts in a Morris Minor?

[Adambt]

Does anyone know if mini seat belts will fit a morris minor?
It's never had seat belts fitted before, and thought second hand mini ones might be a budget option compared to buying a brand new kit.
I can't really see why not, but looking on the MMOC site, they only seem to talk about fitting the special kits which are out of my budget at the mo!

Anybody done any budget seatbelt installations?

Have a look on the Securon web site -

You will see the stalks on a Mini aren't long enough.
When I fitted seatbelts to my 2 door Minor I tried a couple of sets from my "spares" box but they weren't suitable so ended up buying a new pair.
If you look at the application guide then you might be able to find other cars with the right belts.

Cheers,
I'd been on the securon webesite already, but not looked hard enough to get the required info.
Does seem the stalks will be 15cm too short, which I guess is quite a lot. There's nothing very common with the same set up.
Looks like I may have to open my wallet a bit wider....

Not ever played in a Morris (come to think of it, never even sat in one!) But is there the space to simply extend the mounting point, with a bit of 8mm steel?

Hole in one end, bolt down to original point, and captive nut welded to the other end, and mount the mini stalk to that



not exactly pretty, and factory-looking, but as long as your mounting point's strong enough, it should be fine (unless I've missed something rather obvious?)

not exactly the same, but i used static 3 point mini rear belts in the front of my 4 door A35..... they're so cheap new off somewhere like ebay, i really wouldnt consider using second hand belts unless you know the history of them.......

I'd not feck about i'd just get the ones that fit it. Morris Minor centre sell them as do Bull Motif and loads of other places. They are probably just the Securon ones anyway
