Default Seatbelt extension?

My seatbelt saga continues. I have some proper 7 style TRS belts now but with the seats I have the lap adjuster is nearly impossible to use.

Because the lower part of the seat belt is so short, the adjuster buckle that you need to peel back to allow adjustment is trapped between the seat side and the side of the car.



One option is to cut out the seat belt mounts and weld them in higher/further along. This option isn't great because I have bonded the trans tunnel sides on now and the chassis is painted.

Another option would be to make up some extenders with some 3-5mm plate and bolt these in between the seat belt anchor point and the seat belt mounting hole which would give me the extra length I need.




I think this would work fine and be as safe as bolting directly to the chassis but dont know how the IVA would look at it.

Final option is to get custom made seat belts, or have these ones professionally altered so I can specify this length.

Any opinions out there?

Cheers
Stot
