NedKelly Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 Has anyone ever converted the centre seat lapbelt into a 3-point inertia reel and if so, how did it go?, where did you get it from? Please advise, somebody, anybody! Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 Unless your Galaxy has the correct roof mountings fitted then the only option is an after market kit, there are a few company's that do the conversion http://www.securon.co.uk/other/centre.htm http://www.quickfitsbs.co.uk/ if you have it done let us know how you get on and how it fits? possibly with photo's :lol: Quote
Reginald Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 You might have done it already - but I fitted a securon belt. It's about Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Any chance of a couple of photo's of the install? Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 Cheers :( and out of interest how inconvenient is it having the retractor reel mounted in the boot permenantly? does it hinder he access to the rear two seats? Quote
Reginald Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 There you go - not the most elegant of solutions but it's OK. I felt that having just a lap belt was cheap and unsafe and anything more had to be better. The reel is a little bit further forward than in the instructions because if you are carrying a boot load with seats out it would get in the way and the belt be at risk of getting snagged with any clobber being carried. Access to the two seats is fine - haven't had a problem with it.Now.. how do you add pictures... Quote
deadpool2e Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Reginald how much did it cost?? and did you fit it your self?? could you please supply a link to the exact page you got it from on the securon web page as i want to make sure i get the right one. Many Thanks ps why the hack did they put a substandard lap belt in there anyway?? (got to be the thing i hate most about the galaxy) Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 ps why the hack did they put a substandard lap belt in there anyway?? (got to be the thing i hate most about the galaxy) Cost saving; the law changed and a 3-point belt became a legal requirement. A lap belt on the middle seat is the single biggest concern I have with my Galaxy, but as it is frequently used with different seating configurations, I'm not really able to consider drilling the floor to take the Securon belt.

Reginald Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 here is the link for the securon seat belt - but blimey the price has really gone up. I'd seriously look elsewhere before plumping for this one.Securon lapbeltSee the top bit in red - centre rear passengers..and yes - IvorE's right - once you've done it you're stuck with it. Quote
Phil Neal Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 interesting, quick question though is... does the middle seat have the strength not to collapse in the event of an accident? i always thought that the seat belt had to have a structural point to fasten to at shoulder height, or the seat had to be manufactured to withstand the loading in the event of an accident? i'd also want to be 100% sure that the belt doesnt slip off the seat in the event of an accident (not sure a plastic clip is enough) and do serious shoulder/back injury?
