Fitting rear seatbelts in W108 1972 - I can't find any mount

[Simon Gray]

I need to put some rear seatbelts in my 1972 W108 280SE. The brochure I have suggests that they were an option on this car, so I would have thought that there would be mounting points already, but if there are then I can't find them.

If there are any, can someone tell me where, or if there aren't then what's the procedure? We can't really use her as a family car until I get this sorted.

Hi Simon,

If they are there, and I can't be certain they are there. First remove the rear bottom seat squab. If they are there, there will be a black plastic stopper which will be able to be removed with a screwdriver.

Good luck

Aha..!
I found the black plastic stopper,but expected the hole underneath to already be tapped, which it didn't appear to be. Would you expect that to be the case?

Hi Simon,

The holes are usually tapped for the belt to be fastned.
Are all the mounting points not tapped? Check them all.
