The first was to measure for new rear seatbelts. The originals are old and worn and I&#8217;d like to have something I trust strapping my daughter into the truck. The female side of the buckle came off sometime in the middle of last summer as she was adjusting it, so I shifted her carseat to the other side. On Sunday I pulled a spare off the bench I have in the garage and bolted it in after taking measurements. Then I clamped and cleaned the burrs off the two metal plates I cut for the seat bases, making sure to round the edges. They fit well, so I covered them in etching primer and let them sit overnight. Next I&#8217;ll hump one of the seats into the basement and drill the plates, then go out and source some high-quality hardware to mount everything.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0073.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1476\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0073.jpg?resize=1024%2C768\" alt=\"Seat mount plate\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0073.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0073.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0073.jpg?w=1632&amp;ssl=1 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took about 15 minutes to take care of some small things yesterday.
