I too have broken clips. I looked at the existing clip on the roll bar and once you remove the padding, you'll see the rivet. The new kit comes with a new rivet and all you do is drill out the old rivet and install the new clip.

Not sure what padding you mean.

I think he means the padding on the roll bar, towards the seats. It just pops off. You need to pry it off with a screwdriver or trim tool.

Hi Chaps
iv successfully sorted it and only took about ten mins. As mentioned above I prised off the padding attached to the hoop. there is 3 points of contact, one near the seat belt holder. one in the centre of the hoop at the top and one one the other side (that one I left fastened).

I started at the door/seat belt side and push my screwdriver up from the bottom where the padding stops as the clips are in the middle.

Came away easily but took the plastic lugs out of the hoops with it. i just unscrewed these from the metal prongs that are attached to the padding then inserted them back in the holes on the hoop.

Drilled out the rivet holding the broken bracket then used a normal rivet to attach new bracket. them popped the padding back on.

Caution: Be careful when drilling out the old rived you don't slip and scratch the hoop, I did but luckily the new bracket covered it.

Sorry don't know part number as I bought the clip from a breaker.

Next Job, Yellow seat belts!
