Dear Listers,



Have a look at the attached photo.  The rear predrilled holes for 

mounting the flap weldment nylon blocks seems to interfere with the 

seatbelt attachment.  Am I missing something here?  The blocks are 

drilled according to the plans and the rear holes are already drilled 

and have the platenut installed.  Do I just added some washers above 

and below and call it good?  Seems hokey.  Notching the belt attach 

also seems like a poor idea.



Thanks,



Matt Dralle

Matt,

 My nylon blocks were so poorly made, that I decided to make a proper set of replacement pieces myself. I noted the same problem you did. I counter-bored the tops of my parts to allow the use of SHCS (socket head cap screws aka Allen head bolts) to retain the flap weldment. This eliminated the interference issue you have noted. Using the SHCSs also eases future maintenance of this assembly.

PS Sorry, but I never took any photos of this mod. If needed, I suppose I could take a few.
