1. A seat-belt retractor comprising;
a seat-belt spool module in the form of a modular sub-assembly having a tubular seat-belt spool module housing elongated along a longitudinal axis and forming an end thereof,
a drive device module in the form of a modular sub-assembly having a tubular drive device module housing elongated along a longitudinal axis and forming an end thereof,
wherein
the seat-belt-spool module and the drive-device module are interconnectable in an end-to-end relationship in different angular orientations relative to one another via an adapter part which is connected to the seat-belt-spool module housing end and to the drive-device module end, the shape of the adapter part defining the orientation of the seat-belt-spool module in relation to the drive-device module.
