Anyone know of a local place that sells these? It's a 2" "slide bar" for harness/seat bets

That looks like an excuse to buy a plasma cutter to me.

mike, isn't that the same thing as a locking clip that comes with a car seat?

It is similar to the car seat thing, but the car seat has open sides on it.

Mike, let me check my tool box. I might have a couple of these in it.

I'll let you know in the morning.

Mike, I'm 95% certain I have a stack of spares out back. How many do you want?

Scott

Well, spares was an overstatement, however I did find one. When/where do you want to pick it up?

agreed, 1000%

Well I need 4 of 'em. Modifying some spare seatbelts to fit the 33 year old ones in the MGB.

Looks like I'll place an order. Thanks for the offers!

I have a rather healthy sized one (a plasma cutter). I disagree, after learning what it took to cut four oval holes in metal that mine is rated for. Maybe not so bad with thin metal but you can't just cut nice thin slots like that free-hand...you would need to make a template (using wood, you can't use metal for templates of all things) and then cut them.

Sometimes it is just cheaper to buy (and it's rare for me to say that these days). Anything high production volume, easy to obtain, definitely buy. Raw metal isn't as cheap as one thinks (and steel prices seem to always be increasing). Scrap is cheap but you have to spend time finding it.

$100+ engine head flange that's only $10 in scrap metal? Yeah, I'll burn some time to learn how make my own...especially since the p-cutter is needed for other aspects of my current projects.

Awesome tool to have in your arsenal? You bet!

Expression on your face the first time you cut through 0.5" stainless like a hot knife through butter (albeit rather slowly, 12 in/min feed, IIRC)? Priceless.

Worth it to only make 4 of these? No way...but if you like buying tools like some of us do...

CNC plasma? Oh yeah, that's the ticket but it costs another $4-5000 + computer in the garage? Eeesh, I need a garage the size of my house for that.

Sorry for the hijack, wanted to dispel some plasma cutter myths...carry on...

Hrmf.


Mike: Kendra, I need to get a plasma cutter to make some harness clips

Kendra: Sure, you owe it to yourself.

Mike: Oh darn, that's too much work. I need to just buy some from teh intarweb. (tee hee, at least I have a plasma cutter in the garage)

Isn't that how marital discussions work?

Wes, if you find a women that responds to a question of need with "sure, you owe it to yourself" be sure to keep her. especially if she says that every time. otherwise .......deny,deny,deny.

"expensive? no honey, not really. and i can use it for work too."

Mike, i might have two or three of those somewhere in the garage.

And you ask why I don't have a ring on my left hand. (Actually, I'm pretty sure that you don't, but anyway ...)
