I replaced the rear lap belts in the rear of my rig this weekend with three point shoulder belts from a Dodge truck so my son's booster seet can go in the back seat. I don't have any pictures because, while the install came out pretty good, I had a problem with the inertia lock when the reel was mounted so it unreels straight up. I got it to work when the reel was angled.
The inertia lock (not sure if I am naming it right), locks the reel when you pull it hard or when you are in a crash. Here is the thing, the reel locks when I hold it in my hand and pull the strap and it locks when I have it mounted crooked in the rig, but not when its mounted straight up and down.
I can't really find any good technical links that show exactly what angles the belt should work properly with. I'll continue to search but since this is a safety item, I want to make sure it works good. Perhaps I should have just bought new shoulder belts that comes with instructions, but I thought this would be straight forward.
