Default Bulkhead guide

Hey guys, first off, you have all be VERY helpful in answering my questions for my 77 rebuild. It has been greatly appreciated. I just got my seatbelts in (I ordered 2000 Camaro rear belts from a local place). I realized the other night that I am missing the bulkhead guide for the belt to go through. It's the guide that's just behind your head when sitting in the car. The guy I bought the car from didn't leave it in there for me and he doesn't have it anymore. Anyway, I'm having a problem finding one. Anyone know where I can get my hands on one? I'm at work now, but if you need me to take pics of the one I have so you know what the part is I'm talking about, I can do that tonight. Thanks in advance, Neal

yeah, I was thinking to try that but it'll take a lot of work to get it under the plastic cover, and if I do that it won't be at the correct height to match the stock one on the other side of the car. The stock one is a metal piece that the belt goes through which is attached using seat belt material to another metal part that bolts to the body. The camaro one is a solid piece of metal and is much shorter in length than the Vette's. I guess if I have to I can do that, but I'd much rather find the right one.

Yes, I got the entire belt set including bolts and clips. Should work out well. I just went to the body shop today and checked progress. All the seams have been v-cut to the bonding strip and then glassed. He also glassed the minor areas and fixed the broken filler near the door. The antenna hole has been filled as well. Gettin there and waiting as patiently as I can! -Neal
