remove seat belt shoulder straps from holder; move both front seats forward and tilt back forward also.
remove bottom seat belt anchor at the B pillar. T 47
unclip plastic cover carefully remove top seat belt anchor, removing carefully to not leave behind the two spacers; these should be secured with a captive speed nut.
unwind captive nut,remove spacers, and place top belt assembly onto the hockey stick shaped down bar. stock bolt/seat belt
NOTE IF BELT ANCHORS ARE VERY HARD TO REMOVE USE LIGHT HEAT TO SOFTEN LOCKTITE ON BOLT.
Using top bolt as a guide, install top belt/washer/down bar/two spacers/speed nut and install into upper b pillar do not torque down.
install lower belt connection. first make sure the rod end is adjusted so the new lower belt slips easily into the anchor and threads without any tension on it from the down bar. adjust rod end as needed.
then assemble onto bolt: belt assembly/rod end/spacer and thread into lower mount.
repeat other side.
assemble bar onto down bars. rotate end for end and on itself to line it up properly. If you have to force it you have not got it lined up correctly. belt guides face up.
snug bolts easily each side.
torque bolts. done.

Royce has this done perfectly. If you are missing the stainless washers to space the belt out, either buy some at the hardware store(9/16 inside hole) or i will mail them. I did not send them out the last shipment, shipper was day dreaming...
where are you sending the emails? I have none

i did not buy directly from you. but it was brand new. I believe it was one of the earlier ones made. Spacing it out is on the list of things to do eventually. I need to get some motivation to fix all the little things lol
