Seat Belt mounting

I can't find in the rule book what grade bolts to use when mounting the belts to the mounting tabs.

Under the General Regulations 10:5 and 10:11, it doesn't state this, so would Grade 8 be the way to go or doesn't it matter?

Getting the car all ready for it's maiden voyage and I want to make sure things are right and safe.

All the ones I have seen at the track are Grade 8. Get a hold of Tigwelder, our local chassis tech, and fabricator guru. He will straighten you out.

Tig.....who's that, he fell of the face of the earth?

How's he doing with your car?

He tinkers with it from time to time. I have an impressive stash of parts to attack it with once it gets home. I'm down to needing a drive shaft, and just miscellaneous parts now. But, I have no car at home to put it all on.

Don't know if you have any plans for a shaft, but I got very good service with a company called Shaftmasters.
If your looking to buy one check them out, David from there was very helpful and it fit perfect the first time.
Had it in less then a week.

Good luck with your beast.
