Have you tried it yet?

Yes - exactly as Martin described and as shown in pictures from Clemens. Revolutions added a small dense foam layer to the metal plate that sits under the leather to stop this from chafing the seat (showed me evidence of this on older CX cars when supplied from new). Overall it raises the belt a little - about an inch - and pushes it away from the seat enough to make it easier grab when initially fastening.

Perfect, thank you. The seat belt discomfort is only a minor irritant really but now that I'm retired and I've left behind all the usual irritants that fill a working life I think if I can get rid of this one for about eighty quid that's pretty good value. If only it had been that easy before ...............

That reminded me. I had some leftover leather motorbike handgrip wrapping. It attaches with 3m type sticky backing, easy to remove. I stuck a short (< 2") strip onto the top of the seat, underneath the new seatbelt guide, just to give protection to the seat from any chafing. Seems fine. So far the new guides are still well proud of the top of the seat.

Off to Scotland for a Mog trip in a week so will look at these seatbelt guide options when back. The stainless looks good. Might try plastic first, possiblu using these as templates for better gersions.

Talking of seatbelts, am I alone in finding the seat belt female tucked way down at the junction of the seat squab and seat back very difficult to locate. Prior to a little mod I made, I used to poke around with the male end for an age before randomly finding satisfaction with a clean insertion ( no innuendo intended - honestly). To resolve my fumbling, I fitted an extender to the female so it sits higher up and is far easier to locate.

I have no problem with the location of the seat belt 'female' location.
