I am in the process of fitting my seatbelts, starting with the inertia reels and top swivels. I have not bolted the body down yet so I lifted it off the chassis, climbed into the boot space and drilled the mounting holes out from the inside. No problems there, the holes are widened out to full size for the bolts.

The question is, what bolts to use to mount the inertia reels? The top swivels are pretty straight forward since the nuts mounted in the metal plate in the body are fixed and I have 'proper' 8.8 bolts to put in them. Where the inertia reels fit, however, is a different story as there are no nuts there; the holes are just that - holes. I have tentatively used 10mm bolts (with 8.8 marking) with Nyloc nuts to mount the inertia reels. Do I need to get a specific bolt type? And do I need to find some way of getting a nut stuck onto the back of the fibre glass to make it proper captive.

Other than that, all is well.
