[T3] A new T-34 owner?

[Dave Hall]

When you think how much force would be needed to rip a chunk of floorpan
out, you've got to realise what the belt will be doing to you!  Even the 2"
square 1/8" thick backing plates that I've seen supplied would be strong
enough for the job.

John, I  was gonna ask your opinion on 3 point retractables in the Crate,   
I
got a set of T3 ones, I have the inner tunnel mounts but nothing on  the
rocker, I was thinking of bolting it to the floorpan with a  reinforcement
washer, but... ya think I can wedge it between the body and  pan around one
of the pan bolts?

Lookin for  ideas!



I wouldn't do that Keith, as those bolts are only 8mm, and kind of soft. At
least the bolts that come with new seat belts are 7/16ths, and grade 8
quality.  Much better arangement. They also include a thick large flat
washer, and lock  washer with the kit. I even got a couple of extra bolts
(with the large washer)  with my bushings from WW.
