+1. I have the Vorgas. They are styled like the factor seats. They make seatbelt buckle recepticles that bolt right on to the side of the seats. The factory belt buckle snaps into it with no problem...

 

Can't go wrong with Takata. However, I like to think outside the box so I'd go with Silver Sabelts.

 

I completed the installation. One thing I have to bring to everyone's attention. When I went to pick up a few more washers at Home Depot, I realized they didn't carry 7/16 washers. They only had 3/8 washers. I bought the 3/8 washers, believeing that's what I had at the house. When I returned home, I realized I had 7/16 washers. Apparently the specialty hardware store I went to has odd sizes that other more commercialized hardware stores do not carry. No biggie though. The 3/8 washers are just a hair bigger than the 7/16 washers. You can hardly tell the difference. I made sure to purchase the Grade-8 zinc plated washers. They are located in the "specialty" bolt/washer drawer.

Just to make everything uniformed and to give the OEM plastic asthetic cover more room to swivel, I placed the two 7/16 washers on the outside, and used the five 3/8 washers between the B-pillar & Sparco bracket.

 

Next came the touch-up paint for the logo. You can see there were parts of the aluminum logo that had been worn and the original black paint was scraped off. A black magic marker worked wonders...

 

Last, I measured out the "mid-distance" of the bar and re-stuck the logo to the bar. Easy as cake...

 

Finished product! I appologize for the lighting in the pictures. I tried different camera settings to achieve the most pleasant pics I could snap. I'm no photographer though. I did not use a flash either. It made the color contrast look horrible. I someone would like to take these photos and lighten them up with Photoshop, that would be great...

 

Last 3 pics...

 

you coulda put this where you put the Sparco logo...

 

considering your interior color... schroth asm belts
sorry to say.. but WAY better than takata.

they comes in black, red, silver, blue.
and I agree with Junior... go for silver!

(the asm have the inner shoulder belt that in case of impact breaks some stitches and elongates to dont allow you to slip down under the lap belts but makes you rotate toward the interior of the car and they came in a road legal version with a big red button to release and the racing version.)

 

Pretty cool little gadget there...

 

I'm going to check them out Matteo. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

If you need to take a look I have them in my car right now. (race version).

 

Awsome writeup!

 

saw this in person..bad *** product and cleeaaann install. your ride is lookin more sick each time i see it

 

Thanks for the write-up, it will come in useful this weekend -- I just bought a sparco bar from Tac-M. I'm going to try one change to your write-up - instead of the washers, I'd like to find one "thick" washer/spacer that is the same thickness as 5 of them. I remember my SPL endlinks came with a few aluminum spacers that you don't always use. I'm not sure if they are the right size, but if not, I should be able to buy them somewhere. Does anyone know what kind of locale store I can buy aluminum spacers?

 

Home depot or Lowes

 

So the sparco bar does not use any additional bracing to keep it from bending up or down?

 

Thanks man!

Thanks Sonny!

Cool, let me know how it turns out. Don't forget the pics.

No sir...

 

Great write up and great pics

Any chance of how and where you fixed the harness's?

 

I had a buddy email me it to me once. I can't remember what I did with it...
