your remove them when you remove the subframsn anyway, they can be disbaled by inserting the clip into the end of them, if you remove the trim around it all will become apprent

Yeah, you can use the original buckles/seatbelts/tensioners with the new sub frame. Id go with harnesses myself tho and lose the lot!

Buckets and seatbelts dont really work too well cos of the shape of the seat. I managed ok in my old Corsa with buckets and harnesses.

If you're doing anything involving pretensioners, make sure the red clip is inserted as shown here:



Also, they aren't explosive, there's just a spring under tension in there that packs a punch if you set it off.

No , I have seatbelts with my corbeaus

Think harnesses are pointless tbh as they never seem to be worn the right way

The red clip is just clipped to the end of the tensioner, you unclip it and put it into the slot provided like you see in the pic

As joe says...

It looks like a fork, you just pop it in so the two prongs stop it going off.
