RE: retractable belts in 1600

[Jeremy Levartovsky]

Hi Zac,   I currently have Recaros and Klippan Retractable seat belts (w/ drop link) and have no clearance issues mounted at all factory points.�   I owned a Datto 1600 with Bluebird seats, that had retractables that fouled badly when the seat was moved back (to suit my 6”3’ height).� I sold the car before I personally fixed it. The seats were really too wide for the car if retractables were used, and reaching the back adjuster knob was a pain cause of tight clearances too.   Regards,   Jeremy   Ps.� The Recaros fit beautifully, I bought them second hand, 6 years ago, and have had them in three cars since, don’t think I could go back to anything else J     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Zac Campbell Sent: Tuesday, 12 February 2002 4:20 PM To: Ozdat Subject: retractable belts in 1600   I know a few of you have done this - but how did you install the retractable bit at the base of the b-pillar with enough room to move the seat back a bit? especially if you have non-factory seats like I do. I had a look under the carpet with the idea of adding a new mount but the metal is kind of thin - could one weld a thick plate, thread it and would it be strong enough?   cheers, zac   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
