seat belt problems

hi paul, just got youre message,doing the seat belt problem at the moment,ive got alfa romeo head rest seats,prototype design stages at the moment,bolting a 5mm metal rod on to the side of the seat frame which peirces up threw the leather, ive then bent the rod to a shape which holds the belt and lets it move freely, but also looks respectable,tell the truth its a junoir hacksaw, chrome, and the handle with a bit of playing around with holds the belt lovely,if i can i,ll get some pictures sent,hope this helps a bit ,mark
