4-point Harnesses

[Sandyman]

I couldn't find the sill plate in the lotus parts manual. The reason I looked was the great amount of rust dropping between the 2 riveted sill fiberglass body parts. I don't think there is much more left than Roddy's.

Egad - you’re was not existent - what held the seatbelt in place?

The doubler plate and bolt, but the car had been in pieces since the early 80's so no one drove it with the plates in that condition.

Time to check mine a little closer. They appear OK but... from what I have heard and seen here has me wondering.

Attached is a photo of the new powder coated plate I made.  Somewhere, I have a PDF drawing of the plate - if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll try to find it.

By any chance have you still got the PDF of the seat belt mount ??

Dreaming....maybe

Thanks

I believe some of the usual suspects sell them in case you don't want to fabricate your own. Brian (EuropaTC) saved all the files from the old yahoo group and there is a pdf of the plate that gives all the dimensions you need if you do want to make your own here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pWkOZ6a7g3D0iWUf8aY6Rpc9WfbVqxQT

The steel ones don't either, or the ones from Lotus Supplies https://www.lotus-supplies.com/parts/bodywork/fittings-bodywork/seatbelt-mounting-plates-pair/.

I suspect you fit them then drill the holes in the plate to line up with the holes in the fibreglass. It wouldn't surprise me if that was what was done in the factory, only through the fibreglass as well.
