1998 Seat Alhambra centre 3-point belt? - muckybob
My wife has a 1998 Alhambra (otherwise badged VW Sharan and Ford Galaxy), and we would like the centre seat (the first passenger row) to have a three-point belt rather than just a lap belt. I know I can just put a seat in the boot and it'll have a three-point belt, but that takes up bootspace which I'd much rather have for luggage.

Any solutions? For instance would a seat out of a later model have a 3-point belt, and would it fit the floor mounts?

The 3-point belt on the later models was roof mounted.

The rear and center middle seats on a Toyota Avensis Verso have an integrated 3 point seat belt. Would it be possible to weld the Alhambra securing lugs onto a cut off Toyota seat (or any other seat for that matter)?

Like previously said the 3 point belt was fitted to late models and isn't a retrofit as the roof bar isn't on earlier models and mounting to take the assembly would go straight through the skin.
