Hello there. Welcome to the forum. A number of people better informed than I will, I'm sure, be along soon to give advice on the seatbelt front. Best wishes.

Hi, welcome to the forum! I don't have belts in the back of mine so can't comment but I think perhaps ed1993 might be able to help:

I can only speak from the experience of fitting my own belts, which is slightly different from yours as my 1300fwd has a slightly different rear floor pan.

I believe all dolomite shaped cars have enough belt mounting points for 2 3 point and 1 centre lap belt. Static belts are cheap and work and I believe are just as safe if properly adjusted (just don't expect the modern passenger to understand how to do this!). For child seats they are fine as many are designed for static, or locked belts anyway. There are lots of places you can get static belts, I got mine from Halfords and I think it cost me about £35 for all three.

You can also get reel type belts for Dolomite shaped cars, there are some special requirements regarding clips and I don't know them. There have been other threads on this though so it's worth using the forum search. Alternatively if nobody is along here to fill in what I have left ask on the main questions page, the knowledge is out there!

Securon model 254 if memory serves. The captive nuts are welded in so all you have to do is bolt them to the car.
