We're not  moving  the stiff arm back, we move it forward  6 inches so you can reach it :)

I don’t like the look of replacement 3 point belts with the way it loops up then down, so I’m doing something that I think looks better.  Safer and better looking... yeah that works for me.

Show us pictures of your creation when you're done please.

Will do.  I plan on it being like @JeffTepper if I am lucky.  I'll do a write up on it as well.

Jeff, how did you get the belt hardware through that narrow slot in the quarter panel?  I know the trim has a slot to fit around the belt, but the upper anchor and lower anchors wont necessarily fit, will they?

[JeffTepper 4]

The slot in the quarter panel trim needed to be wide enough for the belt hardware to pass through.  I forget the exact dimension but careful measuring and cutting with a dremel was the key.  The rectangular escutcheon fills in the excess "air" and covers up the slot nicely while still being wide enough for the belt to extend without binding.

Since we were using  our roll bar we had to use the mounting  brackets that came with the seat belts.

In a car without a roll cage, I've been wondering- in this first picture the end of the belt has a long bracket; Is the intent to allow you to attach to the stock belt position but then rotate the bracket back and down to make it easier to get into the back seat? Or would you prefer to move the attachment point to the rear?

In the Juliano article for the custom installation it looked like the attachment point might have been moved rearward but it wasn't mentioned.

It you're not  using a roll bar, you could use  the mounting brackets  we make and move it back  some.

Ahhh. I see what you did there.  You put the nut on the pillar because the roll bar was in the way.  And that will fit under the quarter trim?  Curious to see where you slot the trim.i am assuming the reel can’t pivot, so it won’t bang into the trim panel?

I think you have inspired me.

Yeah I believe you.  I just found Juliano’s seatbeltstore.com today.  Both that and the main website still bring up that nut and bolt when you search JU0103. Oh well.

I didn't find them on your website and an email to the site hasn't  been answered yet

Yeah, same way @mustangstofear did it.

[mustangstofear 608]

We drill a hole in the roll bar brackets and attach the  seat belts to it. Yes it will  clear the  sail panels. The seat belt mounting  plate isn't  on our website  yet, but you can call in to order  them

Since we're  using our  roll bar,  the slot  in the lower  trim needs to  go forward to  clear  everything.
