Hello,
Hope someone can give me some advice please. I have a T25 Holdsworth conversion, and I want to fit rear seat belts , perhaps just a lap belt. Are there anchorage points under the seats ? I do not want to have to pull out the carpets without knowing. Any tips would be appreciated.

Probably not mentioned is that you need to ensure your seat base cushion is well fixed, so it doesn’t slide out under the lap belt under braking, taking the passenger feet first through the front of the van.

Re: SEATBELTS IN REAR
I have a Holdsworth Villa 2 with rear belts, previous owner had put in steel stanchions floor to ceiling. I'll get a photo for you later on. However I have rarely had a passenger in the seats, I can see what previous reply says, about the sliding lower seat, could be an issue, though mine always pass the MOT.

Re: SEATBELTS IN REAR
I doubt an MOT tester would think to check. Discovered the issue when we were buying our van. I tested the brakes, and my wife and daughter in the back ended up on the floor, having scooted under their lap belts (that’s all that was fitted at the time).
