Nick Jackson (2) Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Spotted on my GT6 Mk2 inner wheel arch is this large bolt/nut but it's missing from the other side. What does it do and should I just blank off the other side where it's missing?ThanksNick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotoflex Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If it's on the driver's side, it may have been some non-factory seat belt attachmient point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yes that defenately a seat belt anchor bolt.They are unique to seat belts, you can tell because they are a shallow head (not very thick) to allow the plastic cap clearance.And the washer/spacer is so shaped to allow the bolt to be tightened yet still allowing the plate to move.But I would say that is for the shoulder mount, (normally on the pillar in cars) as the base mount for the enersia (if that's how it's spelt ;D) is normally fixed, not swivelling.Just blank it off, weld a small plate in the hole, grind it smooth, then it's as good as new.CheersShaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Nick,The hole just below, is that the same size and thread size?You will need the fixing if you intend to fix inertia seat belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfiandy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Before you cut that off, isn't it the mounting point for the belt guid. My Spitfire has a belt guid just about there so the belt feeds over the top of the chair.Regards,Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jackson (2) Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Don't worry I'm not going to touch it, but I'll either blank off the hole the other side or get another bolt to fit. Either way I can't have a hole in my wheel arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudman Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's the shoulder mounting point for the static seatbelt. I don't have inertia belts so can't say if they require it or not but the static ones certainly do, otherwise you'll end up with a long lap belt.
