I just finished installing a 6 pt rollbar and harnesses and have a question about the eye bolts I'm using (for quick disconnect type snap ins). It seems when screwing them in to the stock belt locations they are a little wobbly until they are tight, and one that I was tightening (with a screwdriver through the eye - maybe a little too much torque) spun on me. But when I put the stock bolt back in it still snugged down very tight. So it seems that the diameter of the eye bolts is a little smaller than the stock bolts and the threads seem a little finer too when looking at them. Anyway I wrote the guy I got them from (soloracer.com - local) and he says they are the same ones used by Bell, G-force, etc, they are all the same, and has never had a complaint, except Porsche guys have to use some kind of adapter with them(?). I assume most serious folks here are using regular bolt ins and not snap ins/eye bolts, but does anyone using eye bolts know of some that fit better? I can get these fairly tight, but clearly they are not the same bolt as stock-
Thanks - don't know why I'm worried, its only the seatbelt (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
