Fitting child restraint to a Rocky.

Post by BundyRumandCoke »

So I am expecting my first grandchild. I built a SWB Rocky for my daughter, previously modified into a 2 seater, and a rear drawer system built in. Now, we need to fit a baby restraint system into the vehicle. It will be fitted to the passenger front seat. Its a 1985 Rocky, so doesnt come prefitted with restraint anchor points.

Has anyone done this to their earlier 4wd? How was it done? I am quite prepared to remove the drawer system to allow fitting of the anchor point. But, I recall a number of years ago, supplimentary anchor points being fitted, which were bars across the vehicle, from sill to sill, with an anchor point fitted to this bar. Anyone seen this?

Mine had a big white round bar with 2 anchor points (with Aus/Std # on it)when i bought it.
It was bolted to the walls just below the window level.
Mine is a resin top LWB 89 mod. Just had a look and the brackets are held on with seat belt type bolt and a captive nut in the body(looks original dai)

My young bloke (5yrs) always sits in the back now after he open the door goin round a roundabout and hung on to the door handle the weight of the door swinging nearly pulled him sideways out of the seatbelt.dont know who shat themself more me or him :oops:
