Mounting & anchorage hardware
The fixings that attach an assembly to the vehicle structure at each anchorage point.
- Handled as part of a specific requirement
- Must suit the position and its structure
- Fitting and torque by a qualified technician

Seat Belt Accessories
Supporting components associated with seat belt installations — the hardware, guides and trim parts that make an assembly complete at a position. This page is deliberately clear about what belongs here and what does not.
01Product overview
What this category covers
Accessories, in this context, means the supporting components that sit around a seat belt assembly rather than the belt itself. A webbing guide that routes the diagonal section past the shoulder. A trim piece that finishes an anchorage. The mounting hardware that attaches an assembly to structure.
These items are unglamorous and easy to overlook, but they are part of how an assembly behaves at a position. A missing guide changes the angle webbing runs at. A trim piece left off exposes an anchorage. Neither is a cosmetic matter.
Because accessory requirements are specific to positions and installations, this page describes the types of item rather than presenting a stock list with figures attached. Tell us the position and what is missing or damaged, and we will confirm what can be supplied.
02Accessory types
Four groups of supporting component
Webbing guides
Components that route webbing along its intended path, including shoulder guides and loops.
- Set the angle the diagonal section runs at
- Dimensioned around webbing width
- Wear and cracking are worth checking
Trim & finishing parts
Covers and finishers that complete an installation around anchorages and guides.
- Position-specific in shape and fixing
- Often the part that gets broken on removal
- Identified most reliably from photographs
Assembly small parts
Minor components that form part of an assembly at a position, such as latch plate guides and stops.
- Match to the assembly they belong with
- Availability varies by requirement
- Confirmed on enquiry, not assumed
03What we do not supply
A short, deliberate list
Some products sold as seat belt accessories work against what a restraint system is for. We do not stock them, and we would rather say so plainly than leave it ambiguous.
Not available from us
- Buckle inserts, blanks or “alarm stoppers” intended to silence a warning system
- Comfort clips, tension releasers or anything designed to introduce slack
- Products that hold webbing away from the body or change how it sits
- Devices intended to bypass, disable or defeat any vehicle safety system
- Padding or sleeves that reposition the diagonal section away from the collarbone
If a warning system is signalling
A seat belt warning that behaves unexpectedly is a reason for inspection, not for a workaround. Please have the vehicle looked at by a qualified automotive technician.
04Compatibility considerations
What to confirm
- The seating position the accessory belongs to
- Which assembly it forms part of
- Webbing width where the part contacts webbing
- Fixing type and location
- Whether the part is structural or trim
- Installation by a qualified automotive technician for anything load-bearing

Questions
Accessory questions
Including the ones where the answer is a clear no, and why.
Supporting items associated with seat belt installations — mounting and anchorage hardware, webbing guides and trim pieces, and small parts that form part of an assembly at a position. Availability varies by requirement, so this page describes the types of item rather than listing stock.
No. We do not supply items whose purpose is to introduce slack, hold webbing away from the body, or otherwise change how a belt sits on an occupant. A belt is designed to sit against the body, and anything that changes that geometry works against what the assembly is for.
We do not supply those either. Items designed to occupy a buckle so a warning system stops signalling defeat the purpose of the system. If a warning behaves unexpectedly, that is an inspection matter for a qualified automotive technician.
Anchorage hardware is handled as part of a specific requirement rather than as a generic item, because it carries occupant load and has to suit the vehicle position. Tell us the position and installation context, and have the fitting carried out by a qualified technician.
Where a trim or guide component forms part of the original assembly at a position, that is a legitimate requirement and we will look at it. Decorative sleeves that pad or reposition the webbing are a different matter and are not something we recommend.
