Seat belt center bolt with lower seat modification

Postby jowens » Thu Feb 23, 2017 8:17 pm

Hi,
The plans and drawing modification do not seem to provide the specifications for the center seat belt bolt to use with the lower seat modification? The grip length appears to be 2 5/8" with 6 washers called out on SNX-F04 requiring a AN5-31A. F04 indicates a AN5-13A but that is way too short. Am I missing a plans reference?

I have not done this part yet but looked at it the other day. I must be missing something, but looks like they call out -13A bolts with washers. I was not sure how I was going to arrange the washers. I was thinking about one on each side of the seatbelt piece and the rest on the other side of the bracket between the bracket and the nut. I was planning on doing two bolts, one for each seatbelt attachment.

It will be nice to know what others did here.

My plans (Xenos comes with lowered seat) call for the center belt attachments to use AN5-7A bolts (2), AN960-516 washers (4), and AN365-524 bolts (2). I have not installed belts yet so can't say that hardware will fit for sure.

The sonex plans for the lowered seat mod and regular seat show AN5-7A bolts for the belt attachment on the outside.
