akademikONE’s S14 manual seatbelt into S13 install

**by akedemikONE**

I just thought I’d do a quick write-up on how I did my s14 seatbelts to s13 conversion. I hated the automatic seatbelts, so I bought some s14 seatbelts from the classifieds.

Removing the stock seatbelts is pretty straightforward, so I’m not going to post it. I also forgot to take pics during it, that’s why. :p

Steps:

#1
Take off the black screws from the door sill.

#2
Take off the necessary panels. Most of my rear panels are already off, so it was easy for me.

#3
Now, take out the stock lapbelt and throw it away, no one wants them anyways. 3:

#4
Now, make a small hole where the seatbelt will bolt into.

Here’s the place where you screw the seatbelt into, thus making the small hole.

#5
Now, get the s14 seatbelt and screw it in. (Some s14 seatbelts I have seen are different than the ones I got, for some reason. I ran into others who had the same problem. As you can see the top hook is too short to hook into the hole, so I just used a ziptie for now. I’m going to weld a small piece of metal there later)

#6
After the bottom part, there’s a hole right in the middle of this picture. It’s kind of dark (sorry), but it’s there.

#7
Now, attach the next part of the seatbelt to the hole in the last pic. (sorry for the dark pics)

#8
Now attach the end of the seatbelt into the bottom hole.

Now enjoy your manual seatbelts! (lol, sorry about the last pic, I was in a hurry)
