Seat Belt Retraction

[9belo0]

Has anybody got any Ideas on improving Seat Belt Retraction? - mine are kinda slow and seem to hang-up around the last few inches, (so to speak!). Is there any way of overhauling them?

Not sure about the Surf but on other cars I have undone inertia reel units before and put a couple of extra turns on the tension spring.

On the seat belt theme can you get a 3rd lap belt fitted in the rear of the 2ng Gens?

my 2nd gen. came with a lap belt fitted. try and pick up a lap belt from any toyota car (scrap yard) but check for physical defects before buying.

You should have one, pull the seats up and see if its under them.

I don`t pick it up until tomorrow but i had the seats up when i was looking over it and did not see any.

Is it relatively simple to do - or does it have the tendency to spring out everywhere, if not done properly, leaving your Seatbelt as useful as a piece of Saggy String?!

its easy.. with 3 hands or a small flat screwdriver..
when you get to the middle of the belt,its threaded though the middle of thereel with a pin through it to keep it in place.. pushthe belt back, take the pin out, remove the belt, wind it up a bit, then put it all back. a doddle. the screwdriver is so you can let go with it unwinding completely. have fun!
