Bit of a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone has a spare passenger side seatbelt receiver clip for a third gen Camaro do they?

My heavy handed missus obliterated mine, with her general desire to force things that don't click first time.

Mind you the plastics used on these appear to be inferior to those Christmas cracker toys you get.

Ryan knows a guy who may or may not be breaking one . . . . .

What ever happened to that Ryan ?

Rocky is sorting me out with one for a crisp tenner.

How tricky is it to swap them over?

Special tools required, or just a simple bolt to remove?

Haven't looked yet as it's cold out there!

I'd be shocked if it was more than a single bolt.

However it's likely to be a Torx socket fitting.

I can instantly predict then that I won't be able to shift it with my basic toolset!

I thought as an MOT fail point that it would be on pretty tight anyway.

I'll get the garage round the corner to plumb it out quick smart then.

I have a set of Torx sockets, and I'm not far from you either.

The biggest problem might be having to remove the front seat to get to the bolt, but that isn't really a big problem either - 10 mins tops.

The front belts are held in by one HUGE bolt that goes right through the chassis, I do have my old Maroon front belt clips but I can't remember if the passenger side one is broken in the usual way or not. I can check if you like

As far as changing them goes I had to buy a new socket to do it, but then I do suffer from a distinct lack of toolz
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

Oh BTW, if you slide the front seat as far FWD as it will go you can get to the bolts fine with a rachet wrench
