I wouldn't modify the stock stuff at all. Putting washers between the arm and the seat could compromise it's design. Are you feeding the belt through the hole in the seat or just running it over the thigh bolster?


I've got an EXASIII and an FG rail on the way. I hope I don't have this problem

 

we aren't modiding stock stuff. what are you talking about?

 

Putting extra washers between the STOCK arm holding the female end of the seatbelt and the seat rail. The STOCK bolt wasn't designed to have extra washers on it. That would keep it from threading in as far as it can, compromising the part's design and your safety. Try passing a tech inspection with washers all over your seatbelt hardware.

 

 

the stock seat belt buckle does have washers on it already. by adding new washers, i mean moving the placement of the original washers to bring the buckle out more. i'm not talking about adding a ton of washers. and i doubt a tech wouldn't pass you because of a couple of thin washers, they probably wouldn't even notice. as long as the buckle clicks in, it solves his problem.

 

It was designed to work with the washers it has. Not extras. Every washer you add reduces the useable length of the bolt. If you think a tech inspector won't look for that you're mistaken. If you crash and that bolt shears you've got bigger problems than buckles rubbing seats.

 

highly unlikely the bolt would come off unless you barely used any threading which i am not recommending. i am not running stock seatbelts, how did u mount the seat buckle?

 

maybe dave22, or rusler firbrand can post pix to explain the situation.

 

I'm currently seatless, and I never took pics of my old Bride rails. But as soon as my new one comes in I'll try to take a few pics

 

what kind of brides did u have? and what kind r u getting?
