NB/NA seatbelt compatability

Postby Hen10 » Thu Jul 27, 2017 11:01 am

Can anyone confirm that an NB seat belt buckle will fit into a NA6 receiver?
I need a new seatbelt receiver for my bucket seat and I want to make sure they are compatible before purchasing parts.
Thanks!

Confirming that an NB8A buckle fits an NA6 receiver.

I have one in mine to suit my drivers seat.

Worth noting, the NB doesn't have the captive nuts for the NA receiver, so you'll need to drill a hole in the trans tunnel and put a spreader plate on the underside.

I just used a harness mounting plate and it's accompanying bolt, since they're already designed for harness/belt use.

Thanks for confirming!
My seat rails have a mounting point for the receiver, I just need a longer one because the short stubby NB one wont reach my harness hole.
