Hi Wesley.
I have the same Seatbelts in my Cooper. I fixed them on the parcel shelf with a selfmade Fixing point.
The problem is that in terms of safety this method is not the best should you ever have a Crash...

I found this helpful diagram on the FIAs website. I’m not saying it’s absolutely necessary to be within these angles for a street driven car. But would likely be the safest bet if possible.

About those wonderful seats; were subframes (runners) included with the purchase? If not, did you fabricate some of your own or are bolt-on runners readily available ?

Hi,
yes I have bought the frames by the same company. That was the easy way.
Cheers

Thanks, he no longer offers runners - only seats. I'm not comfortable buying runners elsewhere, as they might not fit.
There's another seller, yes, but he does not export, so no Microcell seats for me.

Did you ever do the Mini Europe Rally back in the 1990's and 2000's?
