HMMWV seatbelt kit templates and adhesive info

[steelsoldiers]

Hi All,

I picked up a 3-point seat belt kit for my M998, but it didn't include the templates that are used to drill the holes in the body for all of the braces and brackets. Has anyone installed the belts without using the templates? It would seem that you could hold the brackets and braces in place and use them as the templates to drill the rivet and bolt holes, but maybe that's not accurate enough. Thanks for any tips.

I installed the 3 point upgrade in mine, front and rear and didn't have any of the templates. it's not bad at all and if you have the MWO then you can figure out where they go.

The fronts can only go in 1 place, the rears you can move them around a little but not much.

I didn't bother with the glue either I just did rivets.

If you guys need any more of those three point seat belts for the humvee drop me a line. I have a few sets ling around that I'm not going to be using now.

Thanks John. That's what I figured after reading through the MWO. I found the 2-part adhesive through my local NAPA. I am going to use it since I will have my kids' seats buckled in with the belts. Can't be too careful with them.

I have a 3-point belt MWO kit waiting to go in my HMMWV, too. Can you share the NAPA part number(s) for the adhesive?

Mark, this is the stuff I think I am going to use: NAPA AUTO PARTS It requires a cartridge gun to mix and dispense. Some are $$$, Grainger has one for $27 Applicator, Dual Cartridge Manual, 50mL - Epoxy Applicators - Dispensing Guns - 3EPT3 : Grainger Industrial Supply

Just did a little more searching and found the actual stuff recommended in the MWO. It is Loctite Depend No-mix Adhesive: No Mix Adhesive Kit - Epoxy - Glues and Cements - 4KL14 : Grainger Industrial Supply It runs $40 per 25mL kit and the MWO says it takes 2 kits to do the front and rear belts.

Thanks! McMaster-Carr carries the Loctite 330, too.

I'm not sure how long-lived that link will be.

Here are some pictures. Rear is easy for the inner brace only fits in one area. The front drivers side you can place by where you see the rivets around the seatbelt bolt hole. Same as passenger side.

I hope this helps.

 

[steelsoldiers]

Thanks Ted. Pictures always help.

Did anyone come up with a template for locating the rear bracket? I have the tech manuals, and I used to have a 4-man, so I know really close where the bracket goes, but I would like it exact.
