[percy]

Have imported a 1988 911 Cabrio, and went to get the engineering certification today. The consulting automotive engineer referred me to the Technical Service branch of the licensing authorities here in Perth.
Quite some discussion resulted from the layout of the lap and sash seat belts fitted to the rear. (These were on the vehicle as imported - there was no special advisory in the UK MOT).
The criticism of the rear belts is that the cabrio roof, when opened, pushes the sash belt down behind the back of the rear seat. This means that the anchor point is effectively (and mechanically) moved from the rear of the parcel shelf (the actual mounting point) to the point where is is pushed down behind the rear seat. It is acceptable in some cases to anchor the sash behind the rear seat, but not on something as small and flimsy as the rear seats on a 911!
The upshot of this is a recommendation (by the engineering folks) to fit only lap belts in the rear. This will be covered by a form indicating a variance to ADR.
So, questions to fellow Australian Pelicans
is your cabrio licensed as a 2 seater or 4 seater ?
any alternative anchor points used for rear seat belts -- photos ?
any photos of Aust-complianced 3.2 Carrera Cabrios with rear lap & sash ?

Many thanks
