DIY: CG-lock
Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2007 10:24 pm
Well i got this off the WRX forums.
You will go to Home Depot and look for 2" U-bolt pipe clamps in the hardware section of Home Depot.
And then you will get some 5/16" carriage bolts, and 2 wing nuts that match the threadin' of the carriage bolts.
Since i didn't want to buy 3 carriage bolts or wing nuts i went to Ace Hardware Store and bought 2 that i needed.
For the carriage bolts i got the second shortest which works well for me.
Puttin' it together.
1. Take apart the the U-bolt pipe clamps apart, all you need is the flat metal piece.
2. Put 1 of the carriage bolts in the hole on one side and screw the wing nut on.
3. Sit in the car and seatbelt yourself in and then slide the metal pieces over the seatbelt near the buckle.
4. Then slide the second carriage bolt in the other end of the metal pieces, and screw the wing nut on.
5. Adjust so that the lap belt is snug.
Since i'm a slim person, i had to place the the homemade CG-lock behind that plastic locknut on the left of it when you're lookin' down at it.
If you need pictures let me know, and i'll post them up.
