I posted a thread recently about the F40 seats I put in my F355. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/finally-f40-seats-in-my-f355-gtb.705901/ Due to the design of the seat, the male part (specifically the black plastic ends) of the seatbelt digs into my leg/hip slightly when buckled. An easy fix is a slightly longer female end of the buckle. Does anyone know which car has a longer female (receiving) end of the buckle from a similar era? The ebay link below is the part I'm looking for, but maybe a few inches longer than the 355 female buckle https://www.ebay.com/itm/134928729835?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20220310133107%26meid%3Db6be61e5265b4bfa8fa7f8cba304ac13%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D356139003664%26itm%3D134928729835%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DSimplAMLv11PairwiseFitmentPromotionV2WithCassiniQueryEmbRecallKatReco%26brand%3DFerrari&_trksid=p2332490.c101196.m2219&itmprp=cksum%3A134928729835b6be61e5265b4bfa8fa7f8cba304ac13%7Cenc%3AAQAKAAABMCggmqi%252BjGBvS8WShKTeLW5J2g6qXnzgH61T5t8ujPfO4ZJHWSDajmSreRV%252BXNto1elxKNVVM64kNmwVgiMN2szhK0tlR1011FXMzSAB1PUgKP6Sl%252B%252B6GCxu60RIg5tzbvBidii1F9IHcLiaGmVECEd9BQ%252BCBGdyURiKERSY5MVTeDlknHjvuTkQscqp7hiuJQN3omhnvqlTWZWPBYLVWWmwhebEPYVkjyVvmettx%252FlaqROohIuKFqkYxhnylbr2TNr6b5pf4fUpry0%252BnEtEXxrFf22hWdYyrsHl2P4QKxo01kR8BxqaH8OgRs%252Bu8%252BrhYAkLZfhvR8%252F6h14nvC0IGA%252BHuR0eG0AAd2ART631gK9vQk56NuRMIO3wf9EJ2acvzrgmGdtxkJPwGhvX%252FCW9c%252Bk%253D%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2332490&epid=11065669082&itmmeta=01JTDPP3M530K8M9TYZV6PTNDD
I’m not saying this exact part in particular but something along the lines of a simple extension in the length needed. just spit balling ideas, I’m sure one of the OG f-chat Image Unavailable, Please Login guys has a better idea.
MK, you can also search for DOT-approved seat belt receivers in the length and style you need, eg... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks for the ideas/responses. Those both seem like usable ideas if I cannot find a longer OEM part. Does anyone know if any 80s or 90s Ferrari has a longer seatbelt buckle than the 355? I cannot find anything via google
If you only need a couple of inches extra this might be an easy solution, and easily removable: Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ordered 3" rigid and 5" rigid extenders as a temporary solution to gauge what I'll need for long term solution from here https://www.seatbeltextenderpros.com/ferrari-f430-seat-belt-extender/
