What did you do about the seat belt retractor bolt and double walled nut? I already cut the bolt off but when I go to mock up the 2x6 tubing that square nut holds off the tubing about a 1/4 the entire run of the tube.

I can think of 3 options

1. Notch the 2x6 in the area of the square nut and find a way to seal it back up.

2. Try and move the retractor up about 1/4 inch or so but not sure how that will work on the inside.

3. Add angle iron to the run and bring down the tube.

Maybe nobody else has had this exact problem?

 

Personally I notched and then used great stuff foam to fill/seal the gap

 

I'm using angle iron in my build. I notched it to leave the nut where it is stock, didn't cause any problems for me at all. Second page of my build you can see pics. www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/project-asat-185594/

 

Sounds like notching it is the way to go. Thanks guys.
