Installing Seat In R32 - Standard Seatbelt

[gdawg]

Hi

Question: How to mount the standard seat-belt buckle in an R32 GTR with an aftermarket seat

Context: I am currently installing a fixed back seat to R32 GTR (Velo GP90)

In order to gain some headroom for myself + helmet, i have opted to mount it directly to the floor using some generic side mont brackets.

Issue: The standard seatbelt buckle bolts to the seat frame. I have seen many aftermarket rails with a provision for the standard buckle to bolt onto.

Ideally i would like to mount the buckle to a flexible extension / strap so that it can sit up high beside the seat so its easier to use

How have others mounted their standard seatbelt with similar installations?

PS: i understand the standard seatbelt is not ideal wth an aftermarket seat, i am installing a 5/6 point harness. The standard seatbelt is for road use - ie: to and from the track

any ideas? surely someone has come up with something?

I want to know how to mount drivers seatbelt buckle without using a seat rail as i am mounting the seat directly to the floor?

Anyone?

why cant you run a spacer between the chassis and the standard buckle and simply bolt it into the tunnels hole for the seat mount? it would get you by, but is not ideal.

other option is to have a motor trimmer that does seat belts to source a buckle that they can sew up a strap like a rear lap sash belt.

Thanks, I ended up using some 40x3mm steel to make an extension strap which works fine, just curious what solutions others have come up with.

Not sure of the legality, but should be as good as the factory installation

im used steel extension when installing bride's in my 32 as std clip was too far below the side bolsters, ideally i would like to source a similar but longer seatbelt clip from another car

[gdawg]

Does anyone know what seat belts clip would be compatible if I wanted to do that? I thought the rear ones would work as they have a flexible mount but they don't accept the front belt tounge

anyone have any luck sourcing anything longer?

or pics of said extensions?

Would these help?

The seatbelt mount is on these brackets. for r32

Im too tall to use them, with a helmet on. They are std height.

Ended up having custom mount made as I have similar problem fitting in the car with aftermarket seat mounts being too high,

I bolted mine to the left rear seat bracket mount, the one on the trans tunnel.

Its a bit tight to get your fingers and the buckle down there, but it works.
