Also have a look in the classic mags, lots of seatbelt specialists that will be able to help.

hi m8 h8 2 break it i have contacted 3 different welders and they have all said no it cant be done have not checked crazy quiffs yet but depending on you age of the kids different car seats may be an option i have a 2 1/2 year old thats the size of a 3 year old and he has a car seat that takes the belts in the back that r already fitted (will get the brand 4 u 2moro) and i have a new one on the way due in December which will go in the front as the law states that you can do this as long as there is no airbag or you can deactivate the passenger airbag which is in some new cars. i had 2 originally put my son in the front due 2 his old car seat needing a 3 point seatbelt so the missus had 2 sit in the back loads of fun when my son wanted the roof down the missus didn't pmsl :smiley: well best of luck but it should be possible failing that u might have found a gap in the market for child seats

CQ's Kit doesn't require welding it just bolts into the rear wheel arches.

Have a look for it on his website. It's around £300.00 though.
But that's better than not feeling safe with the kids in the car.
