One of the quickest, cheapest and most effective mods I’ve done. The seat belt now pulls out smoothly, the inertia locking works perfectly (probably for the first time in its life), when you unclip it retracts smoothly back into the reel and doesn’t get caught in the door causing damage.
Obviously any changes to the seat belts are at your own risk.

Reasonable price and good service.

Don't forget to call your insurance company to let them know you've modified the mounting. There was no extra charge on my policy but they did want to see photo's and drawings - my mod was the one from the tvrsseries website: http://www.tvrsseries.com/seatbelt.htm

I've found a local company that specialises in manufacturing seat belts for classic cars. They have a range of flat or 90 degree extension plates that would do the job. One end of the plate is bolted into the existing fitting and the other end would have the seat belt runner (the bit the belt always snags in) attached to the plate with a nut and bolt. My question is - would attaching the runner with a nut and bolt to the extension plate be an MOT failure or not?

I've had two MOT's done since I fitted the rose jpoints and no query.phillpot said:
