5.3 Seatbelt Systems
WARNING: Follow the Ford approved
removal and installation procedures for
the seatbelt system to ensure correct
function of the restraints system.
The removal and reinstallation of the seatbelt,
retractor or any component of the seatbelt system
should be avoided. However if removal and
re-installation of the system is required during the
conversion, follow the removal and installation
guidelines of the seatbelt system as described in
the workshop manual. Please consult your local
National Sales Company representative for further
information.
When removing the seatbelt system, a seatbelt
webbing forked retainer should be applied to the
webbing 200mm below the tongue stop feature.
This prevents a situation where all the webbing
runs back into the retractor and the retractor
becomes locked.
When reinstalling, fit the retractor to the body first
and gently pull the webbing out of the retractor
to allow fitment of the D loop. Then remove the
forked retainer. If the retractor is locked, allow a
small amount of webbing to reel back into the
retractor to allow the webbing lock to release. Do
not attempt to release the retractor by pulling on
the webbing with significant force or by manually
interfering with the locking mechanism.
5.3.1 SeatBelts - No DRILL ZONES
Single Cab - First Row Seat Belt
WARNINGS:
Do not drill in right hand/left hand side
retractor assembly area.
Drilling is only permitted in the red area
indicated.
Retractor damage: If drilling holes near
or above the retractor and anchor
pretensioner, the mechanisms must be
covered to prevent metal
shavings/debris from falling into the
assembly and causing functional issues.
Webbing damage: Any outfitted
hardware must not cut, pinch or interfere
with the seatbelt webbing along its entire
path (from retractor to D-ring area).
Avoid sharp brackets near webbing; all
edges must have a minimum radius of
0.5mm. Avoid upfitting parts that may
change the belt routing to the occupant.
