Default Euro GT3 harness mounting fastener - need dimensions please

Can someone with euro buckets measure the fastener "block" that mounts on the driver's outboard side mount?

Here's a pic of what's in the seat and link to the suncoast description: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU996GT3BM.html

are you primarily just interested in the "thickness"?
If so, I have a few that I can measure.

Cheers

Craig

See attached PDF for additional clarity.

If you really want to save $$, just stack some appropriately sized fender washers onto the "stud".

I also have a solid works model of the bushing that allows the bolt to fasten against the stud and still allow rotation.
it's the part second from the right on the crappy suncoast image
that'll cost ya though............................................

Just adding more thoughts to your awesome response...

I'd prefer to mount to the floor.. but any additional stack height to the roll bar / body seat belt mount won't let the seat move fully aft. So I'm stuck with the side mounts. I wanted to avoid just stacking washers because I'm sure that block is designed to transfer load across the side mounts while displacing the belt so it can have a smooth line to the harness opening. I see two options at the moment: fab that block and mount harness or use a brey-krause harness clip (eg. http://www.bkauto.com/R_9003_Harness...t_p/r-9003.htm ) flush to the side mount with a washer stack / sleeve between the bolt and harness clip.

Does the stock bushing allow rotation or is that your spec?

Craig - can you confirm hole location? is it centered in the middle of the 1.81 and 2.35 dims or is farther "up" (per diag orientation) than middle ?
