Mr MOT is fine with it as he is with mine. Just buy longer bolts and you share the rear seatbelt buckle mounts. You can still carry rear passengers as the harnesses go at the sides of them and the unclippable ones are a good idea to help with the ease of getting rear passengers in and out and if you ever want to transport anything large in the rear

MOT'ing is fine, its not illegal neither, however you must mount the harnesses with a 45 degree angle otherwise if you were to have a bump your shoulders will come out of their sockets, plus its illegal to have them mounted to the rear seatbelt clip

well thats where they were in my corsa and i was stopped numerous times and never had a word said, the car was searched and allsorts! at least its still a tested mounting point for strength, unlike drilling your own mounting hole

yeah, I dont believe anything that is OK for the Ministry Of Testing wouldnt turn out to be illegal. You are allowed to share rear seatbelt mounts...
