I installed my Vans purchased seat belts in my Q/B fuse today. I noticed that even with the bushings installed the fabric on the seat belt rubs on the metal bracket that holds the belts on the non-bulkhead side. I increased the separation by using an extra washer on the non-bulkhead side. If I were putting the kit together again, I would grind a bit off of the mounting flange to eliminate any chance of chafe. 



A better choice would be flanged bushings  from Aircraft Spruce also called sleeve bearings from McMaster-Carr. I think the number is 7815K11
