NA8C Seatbelt

Donovan · Post by **Donovan** » Mon May 14, 2012 2:35 pm

Going down to Hampton's this Sunday (anyone else going?) and going to be using my Brother's NA8C.

I have a race set here with the brackets and rails ready to drop in, which I was going to shove into his car for the day, the problem being that the NA8C anchor point is on the seat itself.

Can a stalk from a NA6C be easily put in there so we can use the seatbelt with the raceseat? Is there a hole on trans tunnel that just has a grommet in it, or is it a bit more involved than just that.

I would have a look, but my brother lives in Thames, and I don't, so I can't check it out till the day, which will be too late.

but will borrow the spare anchor if it is going to work

Just realised this was NA8C not NB, pretty damn sure they have the threaded hole for the seat belt anchor but no idea if the hole in the carpet is there for it ha

There is a threaded hole in the tunnel which takes the seat "anchor".
Not sure if it's the same thread as the normal NA6 seat belt bolt/eyebolt though.

Will grab the seatbelt Anchor, if you are down there Sat as well, can grab it off you then and try it out. I don't think it has the flap in the carpet, but nothing that a drill bit can't fix.

So did the NA6C belt fit into the NA8C? I have the same problem

Sort of, bit of bodging around.

When we took the seat out there was a bracing bracket at the back of the seat that bolted to the trans tunnel, in what looked to be the same point as the NA6C has their seatbelt anchor stalk bolted into, so it goes in there.

Unfortuantly we didn't end up having a stalk, so ended up unbolting the anchor point off the seat, turning it around so it was facing the other way (release button facing towards trans tunnel, instead of away) and bolting it to the tans tunnel. Since it was so short and so far back, made it tricky for belting in (especially since I would forget, and have already put my helmet on before clipping the belt in), but otherwise it worked perfectly ok.

I would suggest getting your hands on a seatbelt stork from a NA6C if you are going to do the same thing, as it will make you life a lot easier for clipping and unclipping.
