Vehicle identity
Make, model, model year and body type. A registration or VIN, if you have it to hand, removes most ambiguity.

Overview
Simple in form, specific in fitment
A lap belt secures across the hips and anchors at two points. With fewer parts than a three-point assembly it is mechanically simpler — but that does not make it generic. Length, buckle style and the way each end is fixed still have to match the seat.
Lap belts turn up in centre rear positions of passenger vehicles, in bench seating, and across utility, bus and industrial seats where the seat structure carries the belt directly. Buckle styles vary more here than elsewhere — lift-latch and push-button mechanisms are both common.
When enquiring, the most useful detail after the vehicle is how each end of the existing belt is attached: bolted to the floor, bolted to the seat frame, or fitted to a bracket.
Typical applications
- Rear centre positions
- Bench seating
- Bus and coach seating
- Utility vehicles
- Industrial seating
- Replacement requirements
Applications listed are typical examples. Suitability for any specific vehicle should be confirmed before fitting.

Selection considerations
What to check on a lap belt
- Overall lengthLap belts are supplied in different lengths. Measure the existing belt fully extended where it is safe to do so.
- Buckle mechanismLift-latch and push-button buckles are not interchangeable. Photograph the one you have.
- End fittingsHow each end attaches — eyebolt, plate, bracket or webbing loop — determines what will fit.
- Fixed or adjustableSome lap belts adjust for length at the buckle end; others are set at manufacture.
- Seat constructionWhether the belt anchors to the seat frame or the floor changes the assembly required.
Before you enquire
Information worth having ready
The more of this you can supply, the more precise the answer — and the fewer rounds of questions it takes to get there.
Seating position
Front or rear, driver or passenger side, outboard or centre. Say which seat the belt serves.
Photographs
The existing assembly, its mounting points and any markings on the parts. This is the single most useful thing you can send.
Quantity
One seat, a full vehicle set, or a repeat requirement across several vehicles.
