Re: LMC shoulder strap seat belt installation

I took a high speed step bit and bored out the existing seat belt hole in the floor large enough to put the bolt that came with the kit through it. Worked well. I drilled entirely new holes for the receptacle side.

One thing I don't like about it is that with the seat back all the way, the receptacle is a little long and as such, the lap portion rides a little high. Makes me suspect that submarining would be an issue in a crash, negating the benefits of the shoulder belt. I also don't like how slowly you have to pull out the belt to prevent the mechanism from catching and locking up.
