RUNAMUCK 30,217 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Have a custom diff yolk made with the correct PCD and an internal spline for the pinion. And make it the desired length? Might do all kinds of awful things to your pinion bearings though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmulally 664 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hi All, I have to get some retractable seat belts for LVV on my C20. Does anybody know of any NZ approved kits that have the mounting brackets I can fizz in to the B pillar and bolt to the floor? Otherwise am I better off just welding a nut to the back of a plate myself? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThePog 8,122 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 You will almost certainly need to make the backing plate yourself, the constructors manual is pretty explicit about what is required for situations like yours. I can probably screenshot the relevant pages if you dont have it already. On a side note I have two brand new retractable seatbelts I can sell you... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cletus 40,955 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Prescott engineering in Auckland sell doubler plates ready made, otherwise any seatbelt installer should be able to get some for you Have a look at the seatbelt anchorage standard on lvvta.org.nz 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't look too difficult. I prefer to buy off the shelf as with my experience with LVV it is easier to show a receipt than to prove what is hidden behind the B pillar. Thanks for the offer! I'll shoot you a flirty PM. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakesae101 698 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Anyone see any issues using these https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-RG1319 over the standard trunnion setup off a herald its a scratch built leitch lotus 7, they are obviously by design a bit stronger than the original herald items.

Fraser cars use that setup but with a lower arm that takes a spherical bearing like that. Lvv rules require a safety washer to prevent the joint from being able to pull through if it gets worn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
