Default Seat belt assistance, please...

Hi guys. I just put a Recaro Pole Position drivers seat in my drivers side with BC rails. I had anticipated being able to run my 3 point OEM seatbelt through the eyelets on the sides to be able to lock it in place on the inside the seat. However, I just found out during the install that the OEM seatbelt lock is on a metal bracket and not able to flex like a cloth one would, so that I can snap the belt into it from the inside of the seat. Not sure it even has enough length. Does that make any sense?

So my my question is this: Do any of you know if there's a direct swap out seat belt latch that I can swap out on the right side of the seat that will work with the OEM belt clip? Looking for a cloth one that will slip through the hole for easier access. I've seen Google Images of belts threaded through. Just don't know where to get the belt locking mechanism that will allow this.

TIA for any help.

As the others said, buy a seatbelt extender, just went through this myself. I picked mine up from eBay got it in 2 days. Here is the one I bought and worked perfectly on my 2006 http://r.ebay.com/JfLkyF

So I'm currently having this same problem. I have a 2004 with Bride Vios III and LF rails and am looking for a seat belt receiver to completely replace the stock S2000 receiver because of it's shitty placement in relation to my seats. Right now, I have to buckle it over the bolster because the receiver sits too high to run the buckle or receiver through the harness hole. I've already purchased and returned multiple extenders. It seems the '06+ has plenty of options but not pre-'06. I've heard '93 Mazda 626 rear center receivers work but the ones I find on ebay are all tan, no black ones. Any help?

I have an 03 and the ones I ordered fit perfectly with no problems. Were about $13 each. Worst part, that was 2.5 years ago and I have no idea where I ordered them from. But they are out there!

Clarification: I have a MY '01

Update: I found a link in another thread finally. I will try to call these guys soon. Perhaps tomorrow morning. Thought I'd share the link here in the event someone searches it someday. Seems people running my set up have used these guys before.

Read on here about someone using 2G Eclipse (think Fast and the Furious) rear buckles. Got some at pick-n-pull, worked perfectly!

Check out this thread discussing the same question: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-modifications-parts-193/bucket-seats-stock-belt-718918/

I
used the Mazda 626 rear buckle and it works well (almost the perfect length).

I used 2g eclipse for a little while, only issue was it was barely long enough.

A 3g eclipse would be perfect (longer strap), but I didn't want to be a guinea pig or waste $10 on testing at the time.
