  • Another Conundrum

    Yep me again, the original instructions for this SWB roadster says that the seat belts should pass over the steel tube hoop supporting the rear body? I don't appear to have this hoop, should I have one, is it needed, does anyone have one? The kit was purchased 16th April 1984. Any help would be appreciated.

      Hi ben I may have not described my conumdrum clearly. My chassis number is 2560M and doesn't have the backstay bracket or the triagular steel piece where the mount sits. Instead the instructions are as attached and also the picture is attached.

        Adrian,
        The hoop does not exist on the later marina based roadster. Ben's picture shows a later factory fit that enabled the use of inertia seat belts. My car has the static 3 point belt and the instructions tell you to just bolt the end to the spreader plate as labeled in Bens picture. That's it!!
