Rear seat belt query

Hi fellas.

Ive just got myself a new 944 after my last one was written off a couple of years ago. There are a few smallish issues but the main concern is in relation to the rear seat belts.

My last lux had inertia rear belts with the reel mounted in the boot area. However this one is different (see pic)

They seem secure enough but there is such a large amount of excess belt across the waist that it has been banded together.

I know the rear seat can barely be classed as a seat but my girlfriends daughter is only small and it is going to cause problems if she cant get in.

Obviously safety is paramount. Does anyone on here have any knowledge of changing the rear belts and whether I would be best off getting inertia ones fitted?

Thank you in advance. [:)]

What year is the car?

I believe that some early ones didn't have the inertia reel points in the boot area.

IIRC QuickFit SBS can retrofit them.

Hi. Cheers for the reply. It is a 1986 model . the last one I had was also 86 but as I say, it had inertia ones.

 
Is the boot carpet got 2 lumps each side? This is where the real sit.

2 do a conversion from lap 2 3 point. You need carpet, belts and the mounting point 4 the belts. Which can require wielding or metal work.

However yours may have the mounting points but lap belts.

Just seen pic, looks like someone fitted after market 3 point belts.
 
Its a bit of a lash-up, isn't it? All 924s > have had provision for either three point static or two point belts (usually static but 2pt inertia reels were offered on 1986 Turbos).

As Terry has implied, 1986 cars don't have provision for three point inertia reel belts and fitting them will require the right bits and a good deal of work. The more simple alternative is a correctly sized new three point static belt, which you can get from a firm like Quickfit SBS.
 
That looks like a static belt like I have in mine. I have the same problem when my son is in the back, in that the tail of the lap belt is about 20 miles long. It never occurred to me get some correctly sized ones from Quickfit SBS, which is really mental given that I got them to fit inertia belts to the back of my 911 [&:]

I did ask them how much it would cost to do the inertia reels in the 944 but I decided it wasn't worth it in the end.

It is a moot point now as he is really too big to go in the back for any distance.
