Seat belt top bolt - spacer & washer order

Postby Adam_NAclubman » Mon Jun 04, 2012 7:33 pm

I'm going to go pull my BD out of the Clubman tonight because I really don't like having it so close to my head but I've just realised its been so long since I first fitted a rollbar in it that I can't for the life of me remember what order the spacers and washers etc are meant to be in. From memory the last time I took it out I don't think I got it right and the belt mount didn't swivel properly

Google doesn't seem to be much help, but I might be using phrasing for it that no-one else would?

Any ideas or pictures?

Check the instructions for installing the MX-5PLus torque box bar. I think it's on there.

The link I found to the instructions brings up a 404 not found :(

I used the spacers I made the last time but changed the order of them and the original ones, seems to work better



Now you see it

An empty underground carpark is nice to work on the car, no wind, stable temperature, LOTS of room. If it was flat it'd be perfect!
