seat belt install
I just got some seat belts for my AMX and am trying to figure out how
to tighten the bolts with the plastic/rubber cover on the shoulder
straps. With the bolt thru the belt and thru the plastic cover how
do you get something in there to tighten them? Is there a way to do
this that I am not seeing?
Thanks for the help.

Kinda hard to describe, but I'll try.
Fold the belt back over the mounting tab, then you can pull the cover back,
exposing a loop of seatbelt, and get to the bolt head. After it's tight,
pull the loop back in, and fold it back over the right way.

That is what I thought but the bolt on mine goes thru a loop on the
back side of the seatbelt loop. So the cover loop has to be in place
when you put the bolt in the hole.

Pull part of the belt back through the rubber cover. This should create a "loop" into which you can insert your socket to tighten the bolt, then just pull the belt back down and the rubber cover should slide back into place.

I told ya it would be hard to describe. I just did it the other day, and we
have he same setup, so
It is easier to see if you took the belts out yourself. See if you can it
all in place before you install it. Then, clamp the bolt in a vise with the
rubber cover facing up and the belt coming towards you. Then, fold the belt
back away from you, so it folds over the cover, and over the bolt head.
Now, you should see a loop of belt material, grab the belt and pull out a
loop 3-4 inches. Pull the cover some, and now you should be able to get to
the bolt head with a dogbone wrench. Bolt in place, pull the loop back out,
and fold it back into place. The folding the key here.
If that still does not work, I'll take some pics for you. Email me direct
if you like. cpeters1 at cfl dot rr dot com

Chris, thanks I gave it the old college try last night and followed
what I thought you were saying and got it in. Thanks for the help.
