Seat belt support plates. This old chestnut

[michken]

Hi after the size of the plate for the seat belts in Victoria. And has anyone had any experience with putting them into b Pillar and how to show evidence of this to Engineers

My engineer in Nsw wanted these 65 x 45 x 3 courtesy of Pete...

NCOP (VSB14) and VSB5B guidance on backing plates:
• mild steel.
• area not less than 3750mm2 and thickness of 3 - 4.5mm (1/8 - 3/16”). VSB5B allows not less than 75mm x 50mm x 3mm (3750mm2), but requires the plates to be no thicker than 4mm.
• plate must be contoured to fit the vehicle body.
• minimum 5mm corner radius with edges closest to the body chamfered
• barrel bolts are permitted.

Cheers,
Harv

Been doing them like that for decades so I'm glad that that's still the same .Haydn

Is that the same spec for floors?

[Harv]

Yes, same spec for all anchor points (including floors, B-pillars and parcel shelves).
