I am putting aftermarket \"racing\" seats into the fastfreddy mobile.
The stock seatbelt receptacle or female part (dunno correct nomenclature) is affixed to the body AND to the seat.
Obviously this will not work on the new seats.
What seatbelts will match the NA8 tongue/male part?
I assume NA6 will but are there other mazda or other that will work?
Just so I have a greater choice when I visit my local wrecker.
Otherwise i have to take a template of my tongue/male part to see what matches.

Not familiar with the NA setup, on the NB the belt receptacle is bolted to the seat rails, so if you use the original rails the belts are taken care of (although they also bolt into the seat frame on the orig. seats, which is not possible on race seats). There is definitely a bolt hole with captive nut on the floor/tunnel that can be used to bolt a separate belt stalk into - If this is what you would prefer I would drop into a wreckers and have a hunt thru their stock for something suitable.

I bought a NA6 'recepticle' from Mania and attached it to the captive nut / bolt hole for when I put my racing seat in. I take it out again when NA8 seat goes back in between track days.

Works well!

Ok. sussed it out.
The mazda 121 bubble seatbelts have the same tongue/receptacle as the NA8.
I used the 2 front 121 receptacles with only slight modifications and they work a treat.

Here's the cheaper option - a piece of 40 x 2mm flat iron, 160mm between centres and the old NA belt buckle.
