Seat Belt Fixing Swivel
Kevin - 6/1/13 at 02:22 PM

Getting close to finish now and having checked the top fixing for my three point harness, found that the seat belt can not rise to go over the seat. I guess I can make spacers to raise them or could fix a bar at the correct height across roll bar and fix them to that. The problem is that I am not sure if the belt needs to swivel as the ones I have will not. They are E marked. Thanks

Top hat and spring washer is what you need
There is a specific minimum height for IVA you must comply



Seat belt mounting
Block of wood on the seat touching the back
136mm long
53mm high
Measure up from front top of block

450 above reference point
Lower mounts no more than 500mm apart

As far as the swivels go i got mine off a Ford KA. If you do go there beware the rear bolts are very long and not marked 8.8.

You need the front set out of two cars..
