Hi All
i was going to have a look at improving the seatbelts as they are a pain to pull out unless the car is stationary and on perfectly flat ground.
correct me if im wrong but are the upper seatbelt mount bolted to the chassis or just into grp???

Surely it must go into the chassis? You really don't want those bolts pulling out at the wrong moment....

No the upper mounts are only into the GRP, but is very strong at these points. There is a nut type fitting held in the GRP that is visible from in the rear wheel arch. It is only the 3 lower mounting points that are treaded into the chassis.
I did not remove the upper seat belt point when doing a body lift back in the winter.
