Seatbelt Bolt Ratings...what Should They Be ?

[Guest Rich]

I know the seatbelt bolts have to be High Tensile, but what rating needs to be on the head I'm not sure what denotes High Tensile, ie is 8.8 correct or should it be higher ?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Rich

Yes you're correct, make sure the bolt's for the seatbelt's are high tensile. Metric are marked 8.8 or above.

I found on my test the top bolt's for the harness straps (RHE Supplied) are not marked and i failed SVA because of. Change them for HT from a bolt stockist, but they are a specific Dia (7/16 or 11mm shank) so will be marked as "R" or at least mine were, local supplier was very helpful but take old bolt as example.

If you're using RH harness all other supplied bolts are correct just the top 4 behind the shoulder's which i had prob's for SVA.

Hope this help's
