Hi,
Just got some new reel seat belts from Heritage for the front seats. The top mounting bracket is too wide for the B post due to a lip that runs vertically on the edge of the post.

The belts come with a collar to raise the bracket away from the post but this is nowhere near thick enough.

Has anyone faced similar and managed to solve it?
Thanks,

Yes, I used an extra 5mm washer that I think came with my kit...
So had thick washer then stepped washer then thin wavy washer to stop rattling, then standard bolt.

Just looked, may well be in my spare seatbelt parts bin not with the kit, and a bit thicker maybe 6.5mm.

I think there is a securon part number 7/19 but can't see it in a Google search.
