    Also what is the procedure for the seatbelt reels on the 2001+ cars? Don't forget the retractors have a neat little explosive charge in them unlike the earlier cars!

    Onething may be able to enlighten us with some of his wisdom!

    If 3Bean can't, we may be able to use my garage. It's small but I have decent tools. No airtools though.

    I'm hoping to free up a day this weekend to help out. Sunday will likely be better for me.

    The modified seatbelt on the driver's side failed It stopped retracting.

    I paid to have my bar installed. When the retractor stopped retracting, I took it back to the dealer. They wanted as much to remove the bar as it had cost to install it. They would not reinstall the bar. They would not sell me the seatbelt.

    Hiley of Arlington made it good, but they would not alter the replacement unit. I called HD, and they insisted the mod was necessary. After looking at the two, I really couldn't see how the mod was going to improve anything. It retracts more smoothly than the modified unit on the right side.

    BTW, if you ever need a seatbelt for your car, don't have the dealer express ship it from Japan. It will get to the West Coast overnight and then sit in customs for several days. It contains an explosive device!

    I don't mind hosting something at my place (I'm in Mansfield, though), but I'll be busy myself getting my car ready for the NASA event on Nov 5/6. If you have someone else that might be able to help, you're welcome to the use of my garage and tools. I have to do a timing belt on my 99, but that's going to wait until after the event.

    My garage is big enough and I have a fair amount of tools so I think we could do it there.

    Ok, no problem. I was trying to offer my "expertise" with the install since I've done a few rollbars myself, but I can't leave my place as I have too much work to do on my own car. :) I'm sure one of these guys will be able to make it over to your place to help you do the install, I just can't right now.
