I've contacted them to ask what Type of buckle it is. Hopefully it's Type A.

They also say, they can do custom seat belts so I might ask them to make a couple of Type A of an appropriate length. They seem to have 8, 12, 14, 24" buckles that will bolt in. I wonder what would be the best size we need. Just hope it's Type A.

My 2006 AP2 requires a Type A for both belts. Are the other year S2000s the same?

EDIT - They sent me a Type A 10" buckle with a 7/16" bolt-in hole. Mates up perfectly! I'll post again once I finalize on a seat and install this thing.

Any update? I know a few years later, but really like the idea of bolting in instead of adding an extension. Anyone else go this route? Getting ready to install a sparco and collecting parts now.

For what it's worth, the buckle in a 2006+ is definitely a "type A". I relocated my stock receptacle to a hard mount down at the base of the transmission tunnel (where my harness belt is also mounted), and added an extender from there. Unlike adding an extender to go down through a racing seat hole from the stock location, this is safe because the belt doesn't go up and then back down. I actually prefer that approach to hard mounting the belt directly since it means the stock latch detects a belt plugged in, and so you don't have to do anything to stop it beeping at you.
