It is the last day before the "big trip". Currently MrPercy is only equipped to "host" two people, there are only two seats in the front. But what if I want to take someone else, just for a short drive, not for staying? There is the bench in the back. But it does not have any seat belt. I start looking and find belts at Halfords. Saturday morning I go there and get one lap belt.
In MrPercy I find several of the original mounting screw holes of the rear seatbelts, in the vehicle side wall. These are the points where a seat belt must be mounted in order to be safe. Unfortunately I only find the one at the wall, but not anything on the floor for the central mount. So I have to attach the other part of the belt on the wooden frame. I am aware that this is not really safe, as in the case of a collision the seat belt mounting would not be strong enough to withstand the forces. But the other half of the seat belt I attach to the "official" wall mount. Is better than nothing. At least during a sudden breaking maneuver, whoever sits there will be fixed to the seat instead of flying through the space.
