Re: Seatbelt Questions (shadowsc)
I think you mean non-vert, s13 doors, right?
Anyways, I've got my harnesses bolted into factory locations. Here's the scoop:
For driver side:1) Right lap belt bolts onto the seat frame to replace the factory receiver. 2) Left lap belt bolts into a hole on the rocker where the factory lap belt goes on the coupes - since the verts started as coupes, the hole is there threaded and ready to go. You'll just need to pull the carpet up and find it, then cut a hole.3) One shoulder belt will bolt into the location of the right rear lap belt receiver.4) The other shoulder belt will bolt into the location of the original left lap belt. This is inside a cut-out in the panel.
For passenger side:Mirror all locations.
Helpful notes: 1) Orientation is assuming you're sitting in the driver seat. 2) This procedure is MUCH easier to do with all the seats out of the car. Just remember to thread the shoulder belts through the seat before bolting the harnesses into the back. 3) Be aware that the factory seat belts have a wire connector under the seat that lets the car know whether or not your factory seat belt is connected. 4) If you're using the factory seats (or a seat that doesn't have separate holes for the shoulder belts), you need to cross them so that the left shoulder belt bolts in on your right side and the right shoulder belt bolts on your left side. 5) It MIGHT be a good idea to remove all of your factory belts at this time - front and rear. I say "MIGHT" because it's up to you. It depends on what you regularly use your car for and how hot your local law enforcement is on busting you for using non-factory seat belts. To most police officers, FIA approved doesn't mean squat if it isn't DOT approved...
I should do a quick right up this week with pictures for this. It's really easy to do, but something that comes up pretty often.
