To assure a proper ground, make sure
that the eye of the ground wire is located
between the spring washer and retractor
body (or the C-pillar mounting bracket, if
used). Take care not to crack the wire
when tightening.
Installation with bracket for C-pillar mounting
Choose the positioning of the bracket depending on the
installation situation as shown below.
Also select the position at the bracket for the installation of the
retractor.
Heed following WARNINGs!
The retractor
1. must be installed at a sufficient distance from the stock
3-point belt swivel attachment so the range of motion of
the stock belt is not restricted,
2. must be located as far as possible to the rear of the car.
The retractor must be well away from the head of the
rear seat passenger and the rear door,
3. must be positioned in direction of the pull of tail strap
when the belt is worn (see illustration).
4. must not lay on the backrest of the rear seat, so that it
cannot be positioned in direction of the tail strap
webbing.
Assembly for installation of the retractor to the bracket.
Bolt length: ¾"
• Depending on the design of the anchorage of the stock 3-
point belt, the C-pillar mounting bracket [1] must be
attached to the original assembly so that swivel
attachments will not be impeded or restricted in their range
of motion.
The SCHROTH bracket [1] can be carefully bend up to an
angle of 45 degrees and be twisted up to 90 degrees.
