Thanks for the info is the Air bag not connected to the seat belt i read some where you have to disconnect the battery also the plastic cover just unclip under the window.

Don't know about the air-bag (not got one) the wires to the bag just pull off, they're on a plug thing behind the plastic pillar cover.
Disconnect your air-bag just in case I would.

Thanks i am curious to know why you have no air bag from your picture you have a k11 mines a p reg.

Mines a 1.4 and been a biggish smack, air-bag blew and not bothered to fix it. I had a go by replacing the seatbelt, but, no good the light still came on (mot) Only then noticed my air-bag was not connected at the steering wheel not bothered since (two years)
I bought her like it, in the dark and raining....but I love her AAWWWW!!!!

and nissan4u is listing a different inertia reel for the 3 and 5 door models (different B pillar design eh)

 

[Clodo]

I thought that nearly all Nissan seat belts are the same design..... I have 5 door almera ones in mine straight fit x

I got the stalk from the car my problem if the reel is different like Frank says then I wasted money. I need a answer from someone thanks for all the replies

 

[Clodo]

Go with what frank says, ignore me

However if youve already bought them from a scrap yard no harm in test fitting takes about 30 minutes x

No money waste.go exchange it for the right part at scrapys

Their was only one micra in the yard and they were Eastern European I will wait for anymore replies thanks for all the replies so far.

...maybe the new seatbelt didn't work.

I can now reveal that this morning my car went for its MOT i left the new seat belt in the boot the problem with the old one is its frayed on one edge about 4" long so i trimmed the belt and covered with a seat belt pad. It was booked in for a Mot and a Service and i thought if it does fail they can fit the new one and guess what it PASSED just 2x advisorys 1 slight corrosion on the cross member and 2 heat sheild loose on exhaust he must have checked them because the passenger one was still in the stalk when i picked it up. So new one will go back in the shed till next year so thanks for all your support it will be 18 years old next week and i drove it for almost 13 years.
