help installing REPA sport seat receivers

[Kaleid]

So I got what are considered to be the long REPA seat belt receivers for sport seats- the issue is that the receivers have a plastic back cover spanning both the receiver and the metal extension, making it difficult to install properly. Does anyone have a picture of how these are correctly installed on the sport seat base? Seems it would be simple but the plastic cover only makes it possible to install one way and it doesn't seem to sit right against the base. Should these receivers even have the plastic cover on the metal extension? I'm attaching pics from a past post (mar2mar)- these are what I have- any additional hardware needed? RS-GT had another post showing these receivers with an additional bracket attached- is this required?

Get a thin 13mm? Spanner, that way you can get to the little REPA bolt (very thin head) the washer in between the bracket is nothing special. Then just capture the bracket under your seat rail, with the red knob down.

If you have after market seats, and mounting base, you won't need the bracket more than likely.

Brackets on standard Recaro seats, nothing for Sport seat. The sport seat console has an anchor point on each side.

After market mounting bases on my seats needed the brackets.

you can actually and carefully unsnap the backs of those receivers with the long plastic tail. then once installed you can snap the rear cover back on.
hopefully the plastic is still pliable and not crack. I have some here and can pop one open for a pic if you'd like.
I use a closed end very flat ratchet wrench, its a double ended 19 use 19mm on that skinny bolt, the ratchet is the trick because with an open spanner you keep looking stabbing to hook on whereas the closed end flat ratchet wrench, once on the head of the bolt you just crank away without stressing the upholstery.
makes a bugger of a job easy.

also you can place the bolt with the washer in the spanner and drop it in between and get the bolt started without having your hands tucked in that tight spot.

Thanks, I Plasti-dipped the brackets 10 coats with a rattle can.

Thanks guys- here's the issue- the passenger sport seat base shown below is such that the extended receiver with full plastic cover on the back can only be installed on the inside of the base because of the plastic cover. It makes the receiver basically stand straight up because of that top metal piece running the length of the base to the left of the hole. It seems an extended receiver with the plastic backing on just the receiver itself would be more ideal because you can install on the outside of the base…or am I looking at this all wrong? Any pics of one installed on the base- again, VERY much appreciated!

Kalid - I'm struggling with the exact same issue. I am thinking about having an extension tab welded onto my bases. Similar to the photo below. I have seen version of the single locker base in several pictures. Hoping to see some live examples before I go through with it though. I think it's the only solution. I thought about those brackets found on the standard seats but it doesn't look like they would work in this set up ..

Mounting on the inside with the large wavy washer is correct. The picture is from a standard seat, but the same goes for the sportsseat.
