Puma 110 double cab seat belt fixing brackets.
Hi. Does anyone know a company that makes replacement brackets (ideally galvanised) for the seat belt fixings front and rear for the puma double cab. Images below. Also any idea what size the bolts are?
Many thanks Ed.

No, and remember that the front bracket is integral with the seatbelt which would make this difficult.

From memory, M8 x 25, possibly flange head but it doesn't really matter about the head.

The rears in particular suffer spectacularly from differential metal corrosion and are one of the worst rot-spots on a 110 DC or SW. The rear brackets are difficult to find in the LR parts catalogues but are APU710010 and are about £45 each.

You may find this thread worth a quick look.

Thankyou. So for the front do I need to buy completely new setup? Like this one? Thanks Ed.

Yes, if you need to replace the bracket you will need a complete new seatbelt assembly. The one you've linked to isn't the right one for a 110DC, though, it is for a soft top 90.

I believe that you need EVB500830PMA on the LH side and EVB500820PMA on the RH side for a 110 DC. They are unfortunately not exactly cheap!


(Edited to correct an error - the 110 DC belts are not the same as 110 SW belts as I originally stated.)

Ah thanks again you really do know your stuff! Cheers.

By the end of this I will know exact how much it costs to build a double cab from scratch …

Unfortunately not, those are 110 SW or USW belts, which have the inertia reel mounted in a different place to the 110 DC.

Although I am pretty sure that the rears are M8, I had a glance at the front mounting on my DC whilst out and about today and I think that the fronts are actually M6, the heads look to be 10mm AF rather than the 13mm AF of an M8.

I suggest that you check on your own vehicle before buying new.

Thankyou. Taking it to the body shop tomorrow so I’m going to ask them to take them out and I can order new stainless ones. Thanks again for all your help.
