Default 2006+ S2000 Seat Belt Receptacle needed

I've looked all over the web for seat belt extenders etc. What I need is something that the stock 3 bolt belt will click into just like these extenders that are easy to find but the other end needs to be just a bolt hole for hard mounting to a racing seat bracket.

Have. Don't want.

Buckle end is fine. The male end needs to be a bolt hole.



Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Shek

Thanks, but I forgot to mention the stock ones will not work. They are too long for this seat. The belt either has to go over the seat or if I use an extender, there is some slack in the belt since it has to go back down through the hole in the side.

Ideally, I was hoping the find something like what is pictured above but the male side replaced with just a bolt hole. And maybe about 10" long.

Seat-belt extender works just fine with the OEM receptacle. it's actually much safer this way and fits quite snugly over my hips - much more so than with the OEM seats. I'm 99.5% sure that I won't end up in the foot well (piled next to my clutch pedal) in the event of an incident. You definitely do not want to buckle the seat belt over the top.

pictures of my set up. Seat is a Recaro SPG.

Your belt extender is not fully tensioned. During a front end collision, you and the seat will flex forward a bit, the slack in the extender will translate to a longer belt length and you'll end up closer to the wheel than you should.

\/ will turn to ------

Thanks for the pictures. That is exactly what I'm trying to prevent, lol. You don't want the belt to go up and then down before it goes through the side hole.

it feels fully tensioned, and I even get the belt to lock by sliding my seat into it. that said, you're probably right.

oh well. good thing i don't have kids.

I just bolted my extension directly to the rail through the existing hole in the recepticle. Probably questionable safety there as well and thats why I took my seat out until I decide to go all or nothing.

This is also a bad idea because of the way a round bolt would apply force against the square hole in the belt buckle. Think how little surface area you would have at the face where the round bolt and square hole meet as opposed to a round bolt in a round hole.

I bolt the extender directly to the rail as well. I agree it would be more ideal to have a receiver that has a proper bolt hole but I don't think the square hole will fail in the event of an accident. It may bend a bit but the belts themselves will stretch the most under heavy load.

It might be worth checking to see if some of these companies making extenders have options available with bolt holes instead of receiver mounts. The NSX-R has this type of setup so that might be another option but it is solid mounted.

81455-SLO-J22ZA

I might look into these to see how they fit.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is another Honda/Acura seat belt receiver out there that is similar. And actually there might be some good options that could work that come out of the rear seats of other cars too.
