[ROVERNET - UK] P6 2200 - inertia reel seatbelts

[Slatskars]

In the electronics industry, they use a plastic material that is flexible
and can be cut to length to install on holes of that sort in sheet metal.
Some of it is a solid and smooth surface all around. Another type has small
ball type grippers molded into the two surfaces that grip the sheet metal.
Maybe Radio Shack or a surplus electronics outlet? Believe it was simply
called grommet material. Knowledge from another former occupation. We used
this stuff on the old computer mainframes.

You don't know how lucky you are.  I spent most of Sunday installing one lap
belt on my 1925 Rover 16/50, involving drilling two half-inch holes in
inaccessible places in the steel girders of the chassis, plus making two
slots in a floor-board and two slots in the plywood base of the front seat.
Now I need to find some sort of slippery protection around those slots to
prevent chafing of the belt.
