Do standard diagonal belts have to go from outside top to inside bottom? IE from the drivers right shoulder to left hip? Or can they be done the other way round? I want to reuse my donor's inertia belts but I have more room in the middle behind the occupants, rather than the outside which is all roll bar and suspension.
Westfields have them the way you describe - or used to, anyway.
Morgans use this config. Not sure if the inertia reels are different..
My Cobra has them the other way round. Over left shoulder and fastening on the right near the door. Just standard belts.
My Gemini has them reversed, no room in the conventional position for the inertia unit. You shouldn't have any problems with IVA.

I drilled and sleeved a chassis rail in the boot and took the belt over the top tube. I can't find pics at the moment but I could photo the setup and email them to you If you want.

I'd bet my bottom dollar that they're directional, looking at the mechanisms used in a few different ones. So providing you keep the same
face facing forward you should be OK. Otherwise you'll only find out they're not when you bite the steering wheel.
