I know that Vans has an almost cult like fanatical religious following and it's taboo to say anything negative about Vans, but in all honesty, I feel that a lot of the steel parts in my kit are poorly made. I don't think I've received one steel part that actually fits as it's suppose to. Very frustrating.
Did you guys have the following issue with the seat belt attach brackets?
With both brackets sitting flush on the bar stock on the bottom of the F-705 bulkhead, the holes don't even come close to aligning...
If I put a bolt through the hole (that the seat belt would attach to) then the bottom of one bracket doesn't even touch the spar...
Every single pair of these is like this. If I bolt the brackets to the bar as is, then the bolt at the top for the seat belt will never go through the hole.
I'll send the same pics to Vans, but I figured that these brackets are made on a machine so everyone of them should be the same. I can't be the only one to have so many parts that don't fit...right??
