Hey guys,
In order for me to put both my kids in the Monte, I need to have rear 3-point seat belts. So, after some searching online, I ordered a set of new belts and hardware from Beam's Industries, and have one side mocked up.
I have one problem though - the upper mount has to go into the rear shelf behind the upper seat cushion, and needs to mount near the edge in order for the retractor to work properly.
This leaves me with an issue - the washer that is supposed to spread the load underneath won't clear the shelf, so can I cut some of it away so it'll clear? For reference, the washer is 2 1/2" in diameter, and the section I need to cut off is 3/4" at its widest point. That side would then go underneath and be flush with the package shelf.
Or can one of you guys give me a better solution?
