Seat belt mounting bracket sva covers

Hi, my Sabelt seat belt brackets failed on coverings. I had foam covering them but was told this wasnt weather proof and didnt have the density of rubber and hence failed. Are there any rubber/plastic covers i can get? U trim wont work too well as it overlaps the nut cover. Any ideas?

You could try the poly nylon bushes used in suspension they slip over them fixing just leaving the bolt head or loop exposed

I fitted titanfast edging, secured with ty-raps (ends tucked inside the belt loops) and Tifosi nut covers on the bolt heads.
This satisfied Mr SVA.

Hi,
I just used plastic edge trim super glued in position with the ends tucked inside the belt loop. I was surprised at how strongly the super glue stuck plastic to metal - I think it was due to the metal being powder coated.

See here:

This passed SVA without a mention.
Cheers,
Craig.

That ^^^ is how I did mine. Small U trim and tucked the ends inside the belt loops. Didn't use any glue though, just pushed on.

People have also used covers from tin-top belts collected from the scrap yard.
