jevansio Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Couple of questions, I've fitted bucket seats, is it OK to use the OEM seatbelt, do you just pull it around both yourself & the seat? Also as I haven't used bride frames I need a way to mount the buckle. Any ideas on the best way to achive mounting the buckle. Could I just bolt the buckle from another vehicle to one of the points my harnesses are attached to? Something like this Link?

j_jza80 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Is it the SPG mate? If so, I would use a harness. The belt pivots on the shoulder of the seat which means it can't be fully restrained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 It is Jason. Yeah I'm pretty sure the seat gets a lot of the belt & as you're sat so far in it it doesn't really hold you in place, I'll stick with the harnesses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Could I just bolt the buckle from another vehicle to one of the points my harnesses are attached to? thats what i did mate, had a rummage round the local scrappy till i found something suitable, think they came off a Hyundai which had the same type of belts as the supe, if you need a pic let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hi Paul, funnily enough I went outside & sat in the Supra & pulled the belt around me and it does actually press on you (& not the seat), I've ordered 2 of those rear seat belt buckles (from a BMW ) and I'll see how I get on with those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Quick update and some good info for others doing what I did, BMW buckles don't work . I just assumed that all seat belts were of a standard fitment, obviously not. With the in the bin I found my old Supra rear buckles, there's 2 on one bracket, so I just ground one of them off and used that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
