Im going to be getting another scooby after regretting selling my last one but I have a slight problem, now I know ive put alittle timber on but I could just about do the seat belt up, the car I looked at is an classic jap import, but so was my other one and I had plenty of seat belt room, my question is, is it possible that the seat belts in imports are shorter than normal, and could the uk ones be longer cause I will need to sort it out.any help and I would be greatfull.cheers

You can get extenders but I can't vouch for their safety.

Thanks for the replies,I thought that my self about them being skinny so the belts would be smaller,I might see if I can get a UK belt and see if thats longer,but in the mean time I guess the exstender will do for now thanks for the help,only 7days to go before I pick it up

Maybe worth a trip to a scrappy, you could possibly fit a belt out of any car? You may just need to change the clips as well.

Where are there Any scrap yards now days I'm in romford where would the nearest one be,also what clips are you referring to.cheers

There is Brentwood auto breakers, near Mountnessing windmill and you always have templefarm in stock, just out side Chelmsford. If you could install a belt out of a different make car you made need the part the seat belt clips in to.
Nesc also have some scrap yards around Hockley way I think, they used to have a Japanese yard but merged it with they're euro yard I think, could be worth giving them a call. I hope this helps.

Ring someone like gradeA subaru breakers,they'll tell you if any differences too.

Yes clip & buckle have to match

I had the same problem with my classic turbo 2000 uk model so I got another one of these>



Then cut the end off so it looked like this >



Then I drilled a hole in the end of it and removed the full one from my seat and bolted it to this so it acted as an extention, something like this>

I just had a thought my old scooby had the arm rest with storage so was alot higher, so just thought was the clip from the seat abit higher due to the arm rest,this might be why the old one fitted, this new scooby doesnt have the arm rest so maybe its a shorter clip, could this be a possibility. ?
