Harness Bolts
f1ngers - 25/3/09 at 09:30 AM

Does anyone have any 7/16" UNF Harness/Seatbelt bolts with the 'top hat' spacers or know where I can get them from?
The 'top hat' spacers are the problem as I can get bolts ok.
I have tried 2 local breakers - one has closed down and the other doesn't keep cars longer than a few days!
Thanks

I've had a quick hunt round the usual suspects (rally design, demon tweeks, merlin, etc.), and can't find them - mine came with my harnesses so might be worth a call to whoever made yours.....

Happy Hunting!

they don't have to be 7/16" though do they? they can be equivalent strength, so i'm sure you can use M12 cap head bolts?

The bolts need to be 7/16" UNF as the nuts are already welded into the chassis (Stuart Taylor). The harnesses are Willans (bought on here) and came with eye bolts for the clip on ends at the top but no bolts/top hats for the bottom.
I looked on the Willans website and they do a Lotus Elise Fitting Kit which might do the job but there are no dimensions. I will send them an email for advice.
