Rear Seat Delete - Seatbelt Buckle

I'm going to be doing a rear seat delete in the next week or two (including fitting a rear roll cage) so I won't need the rear seat belts anymore.

Do I need to fit a resistor into the wiring for the rear seat buckles so I don't get any warning lights on the dash?

You do not. I removed the belt and left the piece that attaches the bottom. No codes.

That looks sick! From your signature that is a custom cage that you had fabricated?

Yup. Thank you mate!
Its impossible to find a proper rear cage for the mini.
There are pretty good cages (full) available but not even ONE rear cage.

Since i wasnt able to find one i custom made it from pros that makes cages for pros/FIA approved and then because i didnt want my methanol tank and cutted plastics(cause of cage) to be seen...Did some custom work so make everything "carpet"
