TA22 retractable seat belts

Hi there,
I'd like to put some retractable seat belts in my TA22 and a anti-hi beam rear view mirror. I've seen the seat belts in other cars and understand that ones from an RA series would be suitable. The mountings I have seen are all where the B pillar would be if it wasn't a coupe, but I'd like to know is there extensive mods to be done or are there mounting holes already in place behind the roof trim?
Also with the rear view mirror, is there one which will fit straight into the same mount as the original '22 mirror?
Cheers,
Jeremy.

keep to the earlier models - once you get to RA40s they hide the take-up reel in the frame behind the door.
RA23 (well my old '76 RA23 anyway) had take reel bolted to floor infoot well behind seats.
mirror? get a cheap stick-on-glass mirror from supercrap - just remember to keep a spare glue kit for when the mirror pops off during a really hot or cold day

Its a 73 TA22, but I have previously had a 74 TA22 whose seatbelts were exactly the same. Maybe it was an option....

Sorry mate, Yes the mount points are already behind the roof lining. Well they are in my car anyway.
Just lift up the edge of the lining and check.
