My first post here. we have just bought a 1967 Wolseley Hornet, which all going well we'll collect this wekend. I haven't had a classic car for years now, previously I owned Wolseley 1500's and a Wolseley 15/50, so this goes well for loyalty.
also owned a couple of Mini's in my time.

First major job is to find out about fitting rear seat belts in it. At the moment I have no idea how to go about it, as I never had any seat belts in my old cars before, but now with a couple of children I want to make sure they are properly secured.

Will hopefully post pictures up of it when it's home....

Ooops - Sorry folks I thought I had posted this in the 'Introduce yourself' forum, not the photo section. Perhaps one fo the mods could move it for me please? Shocked

You may consider using theese to fit the seatbelt.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Harness-eye-backing-plate-FIA-approved-x-2-/280524799710?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item415094bede

They are up for the task. You simply drill the sheet metal behind the rear seat, and fit theese from the boot. You dont need to veld it in (actualy velding will make it weaker). For fixing, You may use silicon glue.

For the left seat, You may need to remove the tank though...

And this will only enable the use of 2 point seatbelts.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I've put up a picture in my avatar, but have not taken any of the car myself yet.

That was a day well spent. Drove to Norfolk on Satruday morning, arrived about 3pm, then drove the new Hornet back to Newbury arriving about 9pm. stopped for a bite to eat and five minute shut eye. Also had to stop when one of the hubcaps flew off and ended up in the central reservation on the M11 or A11. Shocked - But we ran back and collected it, lucky it was OK, and only suffered a tiny dent.

M11? I don't think so Very Happy
Car looks nice and tidy.
Those square'ish hole hubcaps are very sort after so look after them!

Must have been the A11 then. Quite a busy dual carriageway, with a scrubby central reservation with just a 3 wire cable barrier about knee height.
