    Safety is the key. Get you a set of (over here they are rated on a different scale) MOT worthy non-retracting seat belts. Especially if you run harnesses for track-days!
    I still have the oem steering wheel with airbag, planing to get a smaller steering wheel with airbag.

    Will most likely run into problems with MOT removing the oem-retracting seat belts, so they have to work.
    In addition to the seatbelt issue the missing harness bar are #2 problem with the bar.

    Basically, I unbolted the seatbelt guides, rotated them forward and had them welded in place. That way, the belt strap did not bind in the opening anymore. Also, it looks like your foam padding could use a little trimming as it looks like your belt might be rubbing on it. I had the foam pads too and trimmed them high enough so that they tucked inside the vinyl covers.
    Found your thread searching da-internet.

    Something like this?




    Have not experienced that the belt interfere with the padding.

    Yes, heh heh. Exactly like that.

    Since I don't have Photobucket anymore, I'm trying to locate all my old photos on backup drives.

    Nice.
    Do you have picture from the other side, where you can see the belt going into the "roll"?

    The only other picture I have is from a "roller" mod I made further smooth retraction. Sorry. Safe to say, however that once the seatbelt mount is welded farther toward the front, the belt strap aligned much better with the opening rather than pinched to one side.
