Macht Schnell 3 pt receptacle fitment issue

[drunkenup]

Using MS floor mounts and seat belt receptacles. As the picture shows, with the buckle bolted in on the outside of the receptacle, it can't be bolted down any further toward the center of the car without hitting the trans tunnel.

Consequently the seat has to be bolted very off center toward the outside. The door can barely close on my profi spgs, non XL. My pole position is too far outside to even bolt in on one side.

Is this the correct way to bolt these on?

So from what I've concluded from SYT_Shadow 's thread on another forum is that:
1. The receptacle sandwiches between the side mount and slider, not between floor mount and slider.
2. The buckle/pretensioner goes on the INSIDE, not outside of the receptacle.

Problems with that with this hybrid receptacle
1. Forward most threaded hole is too low to use on inside, but matching bore with belt buckle/pretensioner hole
2. Middle hole is high enough, but smaller than belt/pretensioner bore.
3. rear most hole high enough, hole possibly larger than buckle/pretensioner bore

The two holes I can use on the inside will probably introduce unwanted vertical play..

I got mine to work fine. The seat centering was a pain in the ass though.

Yeah, the MS hardware is garbage.

Moved to BK and have never looked back. I still have the MS stuff in the attic

Funny you say that. Just discovered that the nothing will bolt into my MS floor mounts. The bolt holes are ~1mm too tight. You might expect them to get this stuff right if they make springs and stud kits. I guess they have a fucking retard designing the seat equipment

it is very disappointing. My mounting hardware cost around 1k and it's worthless

Their other stuff is fine, it's just mind boggling

If you can, return it and go BK
