Oh and no need to put the little washer back on. There is a install guide on the high boost forums or something like that. Can't remember the name of the site but I'm sure someone can correct me. Not on this forum to often so I never saw your question.

Buschur will you guys offer another set of push pins for sale?

bought washers for that extra space but i think if anything but the retaining washer is touching that inner nut the seatbelt assembly won't spin.. would appreciate any advice before i ask a shop to do this... i'd like to think the unit is self-contained and i'm just not putting the bolts, assembly, and nuts in the right order..

FYI - here's where I am:

everything taken apart:


OEM spinning thing back into the assembly:


Back onto the seatbelt thing:


and Buschur-supplied bolt in:


After this, I've tried pretty much every combination of washers etc including purchasing different ones, but nothing retains the function of the seatbelt assembly being able to spin, since the retaining washer cannot reach the end of the bolt (smooth area is thicker). Also still having a problem getting the quick release bolt through - i cant be doing that wrong... is it maybe that the paint is too thick?

interesting...


high boost forums seems down or infected atm. so i take it you can't spin the seatbelt assembly portion like you can with stock when this piece is in?

I don't think it was built to be able to keep that part spinning that is why nothing you do is giving that functionality back. You have to get a file that goes on the end of a drill that looks like a upside down cone. But don't use the drill just hold the bit and spin it back and forth with you hand. Then do the underside. Take your time so that you don't sand off your finish. Then try to push the pin in after to see if you need more sanding. You don't want to make it much bigger than you need...

Well, when I installed it I had trouble fitting the pins to the hole as well. That was because the power coat is too thick in those holes, you need to use a screwdriver or something scratch the inner part of the holes to make it fit, but eventually you will still have to power the pins in. My pins are fitted in now but very hard to come out, but I think after several in and out they will fit better.

There is a washer hold the bolt in place you will have to find a thing to pull that washer out or destroy it to let the original bolt out. I have all the issues you guys described, but I finally get it done literally takes me a whole afternoon to figure it all out

I'll assume somehow Nick didn't check the holes in that bar and the powder coat is blocking it. He was and is suppose to check each one before they leave.

since i don't trust myself with any sort of power tool would i be able to send just the flange part back with pins for fitment?

and just to confirm, from what people said this setup will not allow the seatbelt assembly portion to rotate as stock, correct?

I hate to do this but since the install is essentially the same here is a link to Sparco's instructions:

http://www.sparcousa.com/resourceFiles/48.pdf

You just need a little file to knock the powder coating out of the holes, shipping it back is silly.

Yes, the seat belt still rotates.

David,

forgive my stupidity; how does the belt still rotate? i've tried every combination of washer retainer washer etc but it will just not rotate. basically i can't put the retainer washer on right after i put the bolt on because of that thick smoother area, so i put on another nut and then the retainer washer, then the harness bar holder but it will not spin. any other combination won't spin.

the "problem" that i have with mine is that the smooth part of the supplied bolt (step 3 for the sparco case) is too long for the retainer washer to reach all the way to the end to that intermediate nut hat.. i guess i will just take it to a shop, i'm clearly incapable of this fairly basic task (no sarcasm) just not sure the way things are suppsoed to go

David,

Since I'm most likely about to order a Schroth harness this week, do you mind if I send you the two flanges to be dremeled down for fitment? I'd rather not be liable for that sort of thing since I don't really have any ability or experience with that.. and I know if I mess it up I'm SOL

Is it also possible to provide a definitive order for the seatbelt assembly, nuts, and bolts you provided so that the seatbelt assembly will keep rotating with it installed? most people are saying they were not able to keep the seatbelt assembly rotating.. I'm sure there's something we're not understanding, and the sparco install instructions do not really apply for our particular combination of nuts and bolts.. for a general guide it's fine and I can put it together but I lose the rotation of the seat belt assembly.

:edit: here is the definitive order since it was on the other site:





still having a couple issues though

i fixed my brackets tonight, took literally 4 minutes to fix both. you just need to knock off the powder coat in the holes till you see bare metal. i literally ran a round rat tail file over it with little to no pressure.

i really think your over thinking this all. the sparco pictures make it pretty obvious imho (ill let you know for sure after i do it tomorrow lol).
im not 100% certain on the hardware selection thats included, but you can see from the sparco doc where the thick spacer goes, and im planning on use the rest of the stock bolts.

also, heres the page off highboost since its back.

^^^^ Great!! Thanks for that link - gonna run down the car now - I've been reusing the stock inner nut that fit inside the seatbelt assembly


tell me after you do it - the problem is the smooth portion on the provided bolt si too thick and doesnt let you slip the retaining washer all the way down, and any other combination locks it up so that once you tighten it down enough the seatbelt assembly will not rotate. i'd love to be wrong on this so post pictures once you get it done.

it's obvious what should to be done from the sparco guide - what's not obvious is the particular setup with our nuts and bolts, and that's exactly what the issue is.. i didn't spend 10 minutes trying this and that, i spent two hours trying every single order possible and even buying new/different washers.. as for the filing.. i guess i could go out and buy something to file the holes down... but it's not something I should have to or am comfortable with doing, and David even said Nick is supposed to check each one of them. What kind of file are we talking about here? I'm assuming it's not a nail file - something like this http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-66631-8...7568416&sr=8-1 ?

this is as far as i can get the smaller supplied washer on the supplied bolt - is that right? i feel like things would make a lot more sense if the supplied washer could reach the end of the supplied bolt



and fyi the large supplied washer will go all the way to the end of the supplied bolt

edit, this will slip all the way down.
