I am after someone that can make a lump of metal into something I can use and not charge the earth for doing it  :wink:

I need a bracket making to hold the buckle end of some seat belts for the rear of my 90, so wil need to be strong enough for the job, but needs to be shaped so it will fit.
I can sort measurements and some drawings so just after an idea of who may be able to assist in this request.

Will be to lift the buckles about 5-6" off the floor  :)

Why not just pop to Challenger and see if they have any laying around, seem to have everything else there, if not, as basic engineering for this they can make one at a guess, mine will require a bit more bending and fabricating at a guess

This is kinda what I need http://www.fazer-mania.co.uk/coppermine/albums/userpics/10188/belt_bracket.doc

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40
