seat belt top fitting

Post by RogerRust »

Hi guys and girls

Could anyone supply me with some thing like this plate from Chrisd87's car so that I can have trafficators and seat belts fitted at a sensible height?

Alternatively some polished stainless 35mm wide by about 6mm thick perhaps.

Does any one have ANY other suggestions

Hi Roger
I guess you'll have to get one made - but it's a neat solution.
Personally I'd prefer it underneath the trim panel instead of over it.
I've got a spare one of those in red if you want one for trial cutting.

Thats a good idea. Came on to have a look for any ideas on fitting belts to my wifes newly acquired 58 4dr and saw that picture. Presumably you dont have to cut the trim with these plates? We'd like to keep the car original as poss.
cheers
