any straight file like this will work.

run it lightly and youll quickly see shiny metal.
my first thought is that the small spacer will slide up on the bolt when you start torquing it in. did you try that?

small fyi, seems that the inner stock nut inside the assembly stays in it, and then the small supplied washer and then the bolt goes through - however, it seems you'll still have the same amount of thick smooth portion of the supplied bolt sticking out the other side (IF the small washer clears it in the first place), which the flange cannot clear either -
can i be certain that i received the proper bolts??

mine dont slide on by hand very far either, but the way they took the picture almost makes it look like that one didnt slide on all the way by hand either. thats why i think that it will slide on when torqued.

does yours look exactly like mine? it still leaves the issue of the smooth portion clearing the entire assembly, and the flange will definitely not clear that smooth portion (you can try by skipping the small washer part, should be the same length of bolt sticking through) not sure if it's the design or whatever though?

yes mine looks the same. the way i see the assembly, the tightness of the small bushing is what is taking away the rotation. im ure other people have installed this...

im just concerned that if i lightly tap the small washer on and/or slide it on while torquing it in, that it will be too tight to spin anyway.

yeah that seems to be the case with most people who run the bar unfortunately. the picture Jrod put on highboost makes sense.

somebody must have had similar questions of all the people who have bought and installed..or they just give up on the seatbelt assembly rotating?

can i get a confirm that the small washer will go all the way to the end of the bolt...
getting a little frustrated, not sure why this has to be so difficult.
holes not fitting, fine i can buy a file and file it down until it fits - what about the smooth portion of the bolt that sticks out beyond the seatbelt assembly that the flange cannot clear - is that by design or did i receive the wrong bolt...
for those of you who have installed, how tight is the bolt on the small supplied washer?

edit: was paint inside the flanges, not threads.
were there threads in the flange that connects to the bolt? because i definitely ****ing stripped them
so fed up with this ****
i was not kidding or joking around or being lazy when i said i am not good with this stuff these aren't simple tasks for me especially when you can barely tell if the screw is going in properly cuz there's powdercoat caked inside..
and now im pretty sure i'm ****ed.. unless it's designed for the 1lb flange to be spinning by your head

I don't even know what to say to be honest. First I have to say I really appreciate you organizing this group buy as we sold more bars since you did this for us than we did previously, by a large amount.
Second, I guess if things like this are very difficult for you, which I completely do not understand, maybe paying someone would have been best. All the correct parts are packed in the kits, Nick may have missed the powder coat but honestly, it's a small issue. Stripping bolts is just mind boggling to me.
I posted the Sparco instructions and they are virtually identical to putting our bar in with the exception of the pins.
It's a very simple thing to install, I am lost to the list of issues to figure it out.

edit:: i guess the flange is not stripped, there was never any thread to begin with - just was because of the powdercoat..
and going back to the original question, with this bolt that has the smooth portion that clears the seatbelt assembly won't clear the flange right? so it just tightens up to the smooth portion of the bolt by design? it also makes it impossible to put the retaining washer back on - how does no one have a definitive answer to these questions?

the sparco instructions are good for the basic idea of what goes where but i never could have guessed the small washer actually goes into the seatbelt assembly. next is that i didnt know the flange didn't have threads inside of it because of the powdercoat - getting them on should barely be a 10 minute effort at this point
also, the small washer is loosening up a bit as i continue messing with it.
