I want to fit 3 point seat belts to my 1960 series 2. She is a soft top, but also has a hard cab top seperate, but has the canvas on most of the time. When looking on the paddocks website -

Are the lap belts going spare by any chance??? ;-)
The top attachment point for the cab is on the cab as you suggest. My 1970 soft top had a top attachment point on the rail at the top of the bulkhead behind the seat. However, there were a number of different setups, depending on market - have a look at the optional equipment catalogue for Series 2a/3. JD

Talk to BLRS. I got mine (for hardtop) from there and they were very helpful. I think they did some for the soft-top that have the shoulder strap mounting behind the bulkhead, but ICBW.
Our series II had inertia 3 point and it was mounted on the rear bulkhead. At the mo we have a full length canvas on our 90 but have a military roll bar so the top point attaches to that. Richard
Lap and diagonals were standard on UK Series IIA models from vehicle suffix 'D'. They should fit a Series II. The shoulder mounting was on the top of the bulkhead. I have the fitting instruction if you'd like a copy.
There are some other mounts for the soft top that were efectively a frame mounted over the bulkhead to give a higher shoulder mounting. If you swap tops these may not be a good idea (probably not compatible with the hard top).
Retractables were offered as an option on later Series IIIs. Again, they should fit a Series II. It looks as though there were two versions which would fit soft tops. Get a look at a late edition IIA/IIIA Optional Equipment Parts Book for details (the 1973 copy available on the web is too early).
