I am putting a set of seat belts in I purchased from seatbelt planet and I have a question on the receiver which bolts to the tunnel. Do they use shouldered bolts? All the shouldered bolts I have are a larger diameter, not sure if I should have them turned down or find different bolts.
Thanks |

Are the holes in the new belt hardware too small ? Serious issue |

Don't know either but I'll be doing this as well in 8-10 days. I did ask Mike @ Seat Belt Planet about their hardware kit. He said theirs were 1/2" x 27thd bolts. No metric bolts were available from them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'm not sure about the shoulder-bolt question, but the bolt size has been discussed at length here over the years.
The seat belt bolts are US sized 7/16-20 (apparently a US standard size required by law on all cars). They are not metric, although apparently an 11mm x 1.25 bolt is close enough that it also works. |

I just installed their seat belts this past weekend. Yes, the receptacle hole is too small by about 1/16" and I had to drill it out. OTOH you could use as is if you want the receptacle rigidly fixed in place.
I emailed Mike at seatbelt planet and he said they were unaware but would make note for the future |

I went through this same process last week. I contacted them and the guy told me they only have one size hole and if you want a different size it will need to be drilled out. Not that big of a deal in the larger scheme of things. Just have to go buy the right size drill bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
The customer service seemed good at seatbelt planet. I had called about another issue and after a little esplaining, a new set is on the way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Hopefully in time for my first DE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
