What part is this.

I’m going through all the pieces that came with the partially completed kit I purchased. What is this part? There are four of them, they are steel with 1/4” holes and guessing by the other parts they were with they are likely part of the finishing kit.

I don’t think my RV8 built from a kit delivered in 2019 has that part. All the fittings for the harness attach points are aluminum and don’t look anything like that.

Same. I don’t recall any parts that are attached by two bolts. The seat belt attach brackets are longer.

My rear lap seat belt attach brackets look like this.

DWG 32 is for the older non pre punched kits.
Not sure when vans switched over, but it was quite a while ago.
