Markus, What do you think of just getting a piece of flat 1/8" steel and re-mounting the female belt against the firewall under the bench? Use the steel piece on top of the belt, put the "new bolt" through both so the steel piece disperses the pressure from the bolt across the width of the belt. Easy way to "shorten" that belt. bob On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 12:09 PM, Markus Benne <mbenne@m-bass.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Sorry, the issue is kind of hard to describe. > > Yeah, the male part can be tightened no problem, but that does not change > the location of the buckle and that is what interferes with a corner on the > car seat.
