    Fitting Sparco Seat Harnesses With Rear Seat Belt Fitment/Attachment

    I've got a pair of sparco harnesses that have the push release buckle in the rear strap so that they are designed to fit into the the rear seat belt attachments rather than having to fit an eyebolt in the rear at each side. But, the buckle on them is too big (too wide) for the ones on the rear belts of a Calibra. Is there some sort of adaptor or attachment you can buy to get them to fit?

    Someone must have fitted Sparco harnesses to a Calibra surely?

    I don't quite get what you mean.... any pics of what you have and where you want it to go might help

    Right I've taken some pics at last.

    Here's a harness on the drivers seat:



    And how it connects at the back to the rear seat belt:



    But the rear seat belt (and the front is the same too) attachment is too big for the buckle on the harness:



    The lap buckle on the harness which does fit is a completely different shape and width to the standard one as below (standard on left, harness on right):



    So is there some special attachment or do I need to change the rear belts to a different type, if so where do I buy the parts?

    Demon tweeks sell a set up that is really a seat belt clasp(with the button) on that you bolt down to the floor behind the seat, so the seat reas are still useable.
    Maybe that would work..
    I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.

    Thanks for the suggestion Benn, the Demon Tweeks server seems to be down at the moment

    If I get a clasp that mounts to the floor I'll still need to have something to join the floor mounted clasp and the one on the harnesses together though won't I
