[DeTomaso] NPC! Need longer racing harness belt brackets for NORC/SSCC

[Julian Kift]

If this is on the floor side my solution was to obtain a longer shoulder bolt and put a spacer behind, thus raising the belt bolt-down off the floor slightly and just enough to adjust the belt if need be. But in truth the belts should be adjustable from the lap side, it really should not be necessary to adjust at the floor once installed. Otherwise they will not tighten down once you are in the seat, on mine that adjustment is easily enough to accomodate different drivers/passengers.
 
An alterntive used on my GT40 & Ultima was use of eye bolts and harness ends that clip (and safety wire) to the eye bolts.
 
Cheers,
Julian
